Others have called him worse than "finicky" but I think he's a little bit of a fussy guy who likes things to go as planned and gets a bit perturbed if they don't.

Call him a perfectionist if you want - I think he adds inflexibility to perfectionism, which is my definition of finicky.

The judges will accept accept fussy or perfectionist, not finicky.

All those other behaviors have happened to hundreds of pitchers but somehow he's held to a higher standard.
