He has six pitches. Six. Most pitchers have three, or four. Martin has six and he has command on all of them. On any given night, if he's having trouble with one he can just rely on the other five! The reason he has erupted this year is that he spent the last off-season adding two more pitches to his arsenal.

I agree it's unlikely he will keep this up, but can you can any other starter who is so versital?
