Brad Ziegler's PitchFX dots show traces of Unhittium-2013. He throws a slow fastball (86 mph), a slower changeup (78), and a slowest frisbee slider (76).
Like Uehara, he gets it done with location -- always low, usually outside, and never in the wheelhouse. These are too close to take, but too marginal to hit. The slider ended up way outside, but generated a swinging strike.
Also like Uehara, he gets lots of spin on the ball, averaging 2000 rpm on his fastball. Nine inches of vertical drop coupled with 9" of horizontal run isn't something a batter sees everyday.
