Scouting Report
Estrada has three primary pitches. A straight four-seam fastball generally averaging around 91-92 mph, but can be thrown as high as 95. He also has a strong curveball averaging in the low 80's, and a changeup averaging in the upper 70's to lower 80's with considerable downward movement, considered by many to be his best pitch. His 2011 season with the Milwaukee Brewers was considered a breakout season due in large part to much better command of his pitches. His 2.8 BB/9 in 2011 was a vast improvement over his previous three seasons in the majors. He is also a talented strikeout pitcher, having a career 9.1 K/9.

Famous quotes containing the word report:
“What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
