Terry Barrich
Starting Pitcher | Yellowknife Bluenotes
Pitching He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. Barrich can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Barrich has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. Barrich's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. His pitches lose some movement when he pitches from the stretch position. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.
Defense & Hitting He gobbles up comebackers, sometimes roaming far from the mound to get a glove on a ball. His pickoff move is merely average. Barrich is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Barrich has some pop in his swing.
