Cortés also employs trickery in his wind-up to throw hitters off. He sometimes varies his step timing and sometimes pauses and rocks back and forth in the middle of his wind-up, and occasionally abbreviates his wind-up and releases the ball quickly.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mlb.com/news/why-nestor-cortes-is-nasty-nestor|title=His name sounds nasty.

==Player profile==
Cortés throws a [[four-seam fastball]] that averages approximately {{convert|91|mph|km/h}}. He also throws a cutter, [[Slider (pitch)|slider]], [[changeup]], and a [[curveball]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Cicere |first=Nick |url=https://www.camdenchat.com/2018/1/9/16866854/nestor-cortes-orioles-rule-5 |title=Rule 5 pick Nestor Cortes could be competing for an Orioles rotation spot |publisher=Camden Chat |date=January 9, 2018 |accessdate=March 25, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Nestor Cortes Statcast, Visuals & Advanced Metrics {{!}} MLB.com |url=https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/nestor-cortes-641482?stats=statcast-r-pitching-mlb |access-date=April 1, 2022 |website=baseballsavant.com |language=en-US}}</ref> His curveball has been registered as slow as {{convert|47|mph}}.<ref name=swb/> Cortés hides the ball well in his wind-up, which helps to alleviate the problems presented by his shorter frame. When throwing a slider or curveball, his arm angle is slightly lower than his four-seam fastball.{{citation needed|date=May 2021}}
Cortés also employs trickery in his wind-up to throw hitters off. He sometimes varies his step timing and sometimes pauses and rocks back and forth in the middle of his wind-up, and occasionally abbreviates his wind-up and releases the ball quickly.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mlb.com/news/why-nestor-cortes-is-nasty-nestor|title=His name sounds nasty.
