Luke Forbes  
Starting Pitcher | Cobourg Stampeders

Pitching
Forbes 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 can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He attacks lefties and righties the same way.

Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. A shaky fielder, he's slow to react to grounders and often looks unsure on his throws to the bases. Forbes is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Forbes has some pop in his swing.
