Joe Fitzgerald  
Starting Pitcher | London Mustangs

Pitching
Fitzgerald can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
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. His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on. Fitzgerald is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Fitzgerald has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
One has to wonder what Joe Fitzgerald is doing in AA. In all honesty, he could use a lot of work on the fundamentals in the low minors. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Fitzgerald.
