Brett Dwark
Starting Pitcher | Owen Sound Crusaders
Pitching His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. The Owen Sound Crusaders hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. 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. Dwark is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Dwark has some pop in his swing.
2025 Outlook The Owen Sound Crusaders signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Dwark like a hot potato if something better comes along.
