Carney Carew
Starting Pitcher | Lethbridge Typhoon
Pitching He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Carew 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. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting A quick pickoff move and a slide step prevent runners from stealing bases. 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. Carew is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Carew has some pop in his swing.
