Greg Cavanagh  
Relief Pitcher | Sask Yellow Jackets

Pitching
The bottom also falls out of his very good changeup. His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average reliever. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. Cavanagh doesn't field his position well. Cavanagh is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Cavanagh has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
Cavanagh performance in AAA is making it difficult for the Sask Yellow Jackets to ignore him much longer. Expect his name to be on the September call-up list. I really like what this kid brings to the table.
