Carmen Carmona
Relief Pitcher | Halifax Oilers
Pitching Control is his calling card, as he works ahead of hitters without leaving the ball over the middle of the plate. I've seen Carmona work himself into a jam on occassion. The good thing about him is that he knows how to work himself out of them. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Carmona is a flyball pitcher susceptible to the home run. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is merely average. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Carmona is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Carmona has some pop in his swing.
