Mike Cestari  
Relief Pitcher | Sask Yellow Jackets

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Cestari also has a decent changeup. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on. Cestari is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Cestari has some pop in his swing.
