Bill Depoy  
Relief Pitcher | Yellowknife Bluenotes

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! If you're going in to face Depoy, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
His move to first isn't very good, but his delivery is fairly quick and he isn't overly vulnerable to the stolen base. A shaky fielder, he's slow to react to grounders and often looks unsure on his throws to the bases. Depoy is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Depoy has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
I can't say I know what The Yellowknife Bluenotes were doing locking this guy up to a long term contract. A questionable call at best. If Depoy doesn't perform, the Yellowknife Bluenotes won't hesitate to send him down to the minors. I just don't know if The Yellowknife Bluenotes are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
