Junkballer

A junkballer is a term used for a pitcher who does not throw a fastball at a high velocity. Instead, such a pitcher relies on breaking balls, control and guile to compensate for his lack of speed. Many junkballers are left-handed pitchers, hence the term "crafty southpaw." Notable examples of junkballers are Ed Lopat, Adiel Palma and Jamie Moyer.
