Izzy Echevarria
Relief Pitcher | London Mustangs
Pitching Though Echevarria can't just blow the ball by hitters, he has some giddyup on his fastball. His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. Because he can't overpower hitters, Echevarria has to fool them instead. He traditionally fares better against lefties.
Defense & Hitting Echevarria's move to first base is average. Echevarria is nothing special in the field. Echevarria is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Echevarria has some pop in his swing.
2025 Outlook The London Mustangs signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Echevarria like a hot potato if something better comes along.
