They got people out by throwing the ball at 10 different speeds and three different breaks. They didn't throw it past guys, but it was hard to consistently make contact. Then, pop up, grounder to 2nd, fly out to shallow center, inning over.

I thought Early Wynn was more a strike out guy. Not sure why i had that impression.
