I finished Justin Masterson, but now I need help with Balfour.

I can't find any kinds of video of him pitching... So what should his pitching type be?

I also don't know what kinds of pitches he throws...

Yeah, I need help.

Somewhere else I saw that it said he sometimes throws a Sinker....

His fastball reaches like 98 right?
