Alfredo Downing  
Relief Pitcher | Vancouver Orcas

Pitching
He keeps the ball down and gets a lot of groundballs. His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average reliever. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Downing has lots of energy. He comes off the mound like a cat and doesn't make many errors. He's average in terms of controlling the running game. Downing is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Downing has some pop in his swing.
