The following link explains his findings:

Fosse and Kuiper were talking about it on Friday night. The 49.7 percent swing-and-miss rate of Wuertz and his slider was mentioned by Fosse.

Nice to see.
Also of notice: Bailey’s fastball is the best fastball in the league, going by whiff rate. 40.3% whiff rate on a fastball? Yikes. They lumped four-seam, two-seam, and cut fastballs together in the same list, and Bailey’s cutter ranks 6th at 28.7%.
