Fred Donovan  
Starting Pitcher | Calgary Remparts

Pitching
His changeup isn't bad... he fools his share of hitters. Donovan can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Because he can't overpower hitters, Donovan has to fool them instead. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. This man owns lefties. Put it this way, if your lineup is full of them, you might want rethink your lineup.

Defense & Hitting
He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. Donovan is nothing special in the field. Donovan is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Donovan has some pop in his swing.
