'Stuff' in pitching means ball movement and change of pitches. A pitcher who has a variety of good pitches is said to have good stuff, as is a pitcher who has the nastiest curve or knuckleball, etc.

they arent really talking about his ability they are talking about the kind of pitches he can throw. all pitchers throw different "stuff". curveball, slider, knuckler, etc.

lol i have no idea but i know what you mean. Some of their slang is getting to be accepted as normal now, like "touch em' all" and "filthy."

Scouts and writers are not noted for their creativity.
