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:
“On the first days, like a piece of music that one will later be mad about, but that one does not yet distinguish, that which I was to love so much in [Bergotte’s] style was not yet clear to me. I could not put down the novel that I was reading, but I thought that I was only interested in the subject, as in the first moments of love when one goes every day to see a woman at some gathering, or some pastime, by the amusements to which one believes to be attracted.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
