Raising Matt Cain comments on Barry Zito‘s pitching:

It’s all about pitching, not throwing, eh? Timing, location, movement, that’s the mix, and he’s a Master Mixologist. I wonder how he does with cocktails? I think it is pretty cool that pitchers can get guys out without having ridiculous stuff.

I hope he can make a decent Manhattan.

The author is right. Speed and strikeouts impress, but they are not the only way to be successful on the mound in the majors.
