Pitching style

Stults threw three pitches regularly and two infrequently. His most common pitch was a four-seam fastball averaging about 87-90 mph, followed by a changeup (79–81) and slider (80–84). Less commonly, he threw a slow curveball (average about 70 mph), and rarely, a two-seam fastball. To right-handers, Stults mainly threw a combination of fastballs and changeups, with occasional sliders. When facing left-handers, he replaced the slider with a changeup. [19]
