Pitching Style
Buehrle throws a fastball, curveball, changeup, slider, and cut fastball. Buehrle is a command pitcher, relying more on finesse and accuracy than velocity. He is also known for being a contact pitcher; rather than striking out multiple batters Buehrle often forces line outs, ground outs, and fly outs, with occasional strikeouts. Because of his contact pitching style, his two no-hitters (including a perfect game) are even more impressive. He is considered an efficient pitcher, pitching quickly and keeping his pitch count low.

Famous quotes containing the word style:
“The most durable thing in writing is style, and style is the most valuable investment a writer can make with his time. It pays off slowly, your agent will sneer at it, your publisher will misunderstand it, and it will take people you have never heard of to convince them by slow degrees that the writer who puts his individual mark on the way he writes will always pay off.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
