Lamont Deucher
Starting Pitcher | Moose Jaw Dragons
Pitching He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. Deucher can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is merely average. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Deucher is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Deucher has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Moose Jaw Dragons have been known to use Deucher as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook The Moose Jaw Dragons signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Deucher like a hot potato if something better comes along.
