Line 5:
 
A control pitcher who succeeds by avoiding surrendering walks is different from a [[power pitcher]] who succeeds by [[strikeout|striking out]] batters and keeping the ball out of play.
One of the most famous examples of a control pitcher in the history of baseball is [[Greg Maddux]], though Maddux also has had significant strikeout totals (he is a member of the [[3000 strikeout club]]) because of his ability to change speeds and the deceptive nature of his pitches.{{fact|date=September 2007}}
