Bernie Candeleria  
Starting Pitcher | Lethbridge Typhoon

Pitching
He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average starter. Candeleria 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 curveball. Candeleria also has a decent changeup. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is only fair. He gets off the mound fairly quickly and his throws to first are hard. Candeleria is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Candeleria has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
Candeleria performance in AAA is making it difficult for the Lethbridge Typhoon to ignore him much longer. Expect his name to be on the September call-up list. I really like what this guy brings to the table.
