Doc, While most of the pitches aren't gunned in the vid-link, there doesn't seem to be much velocity difference between those pitches, but I think there are, indeed, two of them. They both come in around 135-136 KPH/84 MPH (you'll see them both around 0:26) BTW.
"Curves" can be found at 0:08 and 0:14. They have more hump and start up in the zone.
"Slider" can be found at 0:12 and 0:16. Classic slider location there.
However the best look at "two" pitches is at 1:09 and 1:12, back-to-back. That first one has a hump that Blyleven would be proud of. They are either two different pitches, or variations on a theme; twin sons of different mothers, as it were.
The splitters/forkballs/shuuto-lites shown at 0:32 and 0:37 are WAY cool. The second example shows some movement that is nearly in (and WAY down) to RHB's.
There's a lot of Mad Dog in that dude.
And I'm not talking about that deathly red stuff you had to drink in college to prove your manhood.
