Pitching Style
Dotel mainly throws a four-seam fastball from 90–93 mph. He has two breaking balls, mostly used in 2-strike counts: a sweeping slider in the low 80s and a curveball in the upper 70s. The slider is used against right-handed hitters, the curveball against left-handers. He has been a strikeout pitcher throughout his career, finishing above 10 strikeouts per 9 innings in 10 full seasons.

Famous quotes containing the word style:
“The flattering, if arbitrary, label, First Lady of the Theatre, takes its toll. The demands are great, not only in energy but eventually in dramatic focus. It is difficult, if not impossible, for a star to occupy an inch of space without bursting seams, cramping everyone else’s style and unbalancing a play. No matter how self-effacing a famous player may be, he makes an entrance as a casual neighbor and the audience interest shifts to the house next door.”
—Helen Hayes (1900–1993)
