Jarrod Funaro
Starting Pitcher | Lethbridge Typhoon
Pitching He's a finesse pitcher, relying on movement and location. He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. Funaro's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. Funaro is a flyball pitcher susceptible to the home run. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting He has a quick pickoff move, but sometimes concentrates on pitching so much that he forgets about runners. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Funaro is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Funaro has some pop in his swing.
