Few pitchers in Cardinals history are as tightly associated with a single pitch as Adam Wainwright is with his curveball. Bob Gibson was known for his vicious fastball, though his equally effective slider means the fastball may not have even been his best pitch. Bruce Sutter was one of the league’s premier closers thanks to his split-finger fastball. There are others, but the point is made. When you think of Adam Wainwright, you think of the curveball. It’s the pitch that posterized Carlos Beltran and etched Wainwright’s name into Cardinal history.
