Saitoh isn't overpowering, but he's got good control on his straight and he also has a pretty filthy slider and change. His arsenal is similar to Matsuzaka, but he could throw that 150 km/h fastball.
Saitoh will benefit from developing that curveball further, it gives batters something else to think about in addition to his fastball and plus breaking pitches.
What kind of pitch was that at 24 seconds? A slider?
