It's his pinpoint control that has let him be so dominant. His cutter is only 92 mph, and he throws it 5 times in the same at bat, but somehow the hitter can't time it. It has to be due to the fact that he puts it on the inside corner then moves to the outside and back again. Steroids aren't going to help you paint the black.
