Terry Cairns  
Starting Pitcher | Ottawa Milk Men

Pitching
Cairns throws a nice sinker... The rookies never seem to know when it's coming. Cairns can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Because he can't overpower hitters, Cairns has to fool them instead. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He attacks lefties and righties with similar success. He struggles away from home.

Defense & Hitting
Cairns does an average job of holding runners. 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. Cairns is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Cairns has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
The Ottawa Milk Men signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Cairns like a hot potato if something better comes along.
