015

Pitching style

Affeldt has three different kinds of pitches a sinking fast)all which is rare for a left$, a cur#e)all, and a split. :is fast)all tra#els in the low

ineties, and while his cur#e)all is not fast, it has late )reaking action and gets a lot of swingthroughs. Affeldt induces ground)alls at a high

ate with his sinking fast)all and can also get the strikeout when the situation calls for it.6/
