He threw 4FB, change up, curve and 2 seamer. His pitching motion is too slow, not very accurate either.
When a reporter told Pedro an opposing pitching coach thought he had the best slider in the game during a presser, Pedro replied: “thanks, but I don’t throw a slider”.
@loshbomb_psn said in Love Pedro, but...:
Wel last year Mariano had 5 pitches when he threw one.
Well, in a baseball video game you can’t throw just one pitch, but I get your point. Pedro has a curve that is almost 12-6 as 5th and slider and sinker as 3 and 4.

Pedro threw a cutter, which could be described as a slider by its speed, and threw it off and on throughout his career, about 20% of the time in the later third. Baseball savant gives breakdowns too.
That was around the time cutters were all the rage...
Thanks to Mo...
Halladay developed one from him too.
