Jose Cervoni
Relief Pitcher | Regina Pirates
Pitching A groundball pitcher, Cervoni needs to have sharp command to succeed. His changeup isn't bad... he fools his share of hitters. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting He's average in terms of controlling the running game. He hurts himself by falling awkwardly off the mound in his follow-through, which allows too many balls to go through the middle for base hits. Cervoni is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Cervoni has some pop in his swing.
2025 Outlook I can't say I know what The Regina Pirates were doing locking this guy up to a long term contract. A questionable call at best. If Cervoni doesn't perform, the Regina Pirates won't hesitate to send him down to the minors. I just don't know if The Regina Pirates are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
