Toby Arnold
Starting Pitcher | Owen Sound Crusaders
Pitching Arnold can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball is just average, and therefore he relies heavily on placing it in different parts of the strike zone or setting it up with his slider. Arnold also has a decent changeup. He generates few groundballs, though he generally keeps the ball in the park. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He has quick feet and can catch runners napping at first or second base. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Arnold is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Arnold has some pop in his swing.
2025 Outlook I really like what this guy brings to the table.
