I've always thought the sportscaster-hallowed transition from thrower (strikeouts, walks, a fastball) to pitcher (fewer strikeouts, fewer walks, a sinker) to be a little too indiscriminately applied; some pitchers simply have "thrower" profiles, and will until the end of time, and others are not "throwers" at all but just pitchers who are not very good. But it gets one thing completely right: striking batters out is, with certain Randy Johnson-sized exceptions, a young man's game.
