Steve Forbes  
Starting Pitcher | Sask Yellow Jackets

Pitching
He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. Forbes's fastball was clocked at 95 MPH most of the season and he kept excellent control of it. Forbes throws a nice sinker... The rookies never seem to know when it's coming. His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. Forbes can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. He gets off the mound fairly quickly and his throws to first are hard. 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. Interesting sidenote, The Sask Yellow Jackets have been known to use Forbes as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
The Sask Yellow Jackets signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Forbes like a hot potato if something better comes along.
