Mike Ardley  
Starting Pitcher | PEI Argonauts

Pitching
Ardley can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Ardley also throws a screwball. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him. He absolutely loves playing before the hometown crowd.

Defense & Hitting
He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. Ardley doesn't field his position well. Ardley is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Ardley has some pop in his swing.
