What pitches did david wells throw?
Fastball, Curveball, Changeup, Slider, Cutter, 2-Seamer. In his prime his fastball was about 92-93 MPH. His big, 12-6 curve was the what he was famous for....during the late 90s it was probably the best curveball in the game. His threw it about 70 MPH. The rest of his pitches were pretty average, but his fastball and that curveball were more than enough.
