Sterling Fridley  
Relief Pitcher | Toronto Polar Bears

Pitching
He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. Fridley has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. Fridley also has a decent changeup. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. If you're going in to face Fridley, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. He gets off the mound fairly quickly and his throws to first are hard. Fridley is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Fridley has some pop in his swing.
