The book on Ryan Franklin
Out pitch: Slider 
Throws two- and four-seam fastballs, curveball, slider, and both a split and a straight change, about 15 different pitches in all when you figure in arm angles he'll throw from. He's working on a knuckler that I told him he can use on his 40th birthday. He has confidence in every pitch and his ability to get a pitch executed in any situation. He prefers the slider to the curve and early in the count uses it as a contact pitch.
