Jason Dycus  
Starting Pitcher | Grand Rapids Red Dogs

Pitching
Dycus can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on. A shaky fielder, he's slow to react to grounders and often looks unsure on his throws to the bases. Dycus is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Dycus has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
The Grand Rapids Red Dogs signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Dycus like a hot potato if something better comes along.
