Their fourseam fastball generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly above average velo. Their splitter generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' splitters and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' splitters.

Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2011) comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, has exceptional depth and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders.
