Willis Gunde  
Starting Pitcher | Halifax Oilers

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average starter. Gunde can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Gunde also has a decent changeup. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.

Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. He never has controlled the running game. Gunde is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Gunde has some pop in his swing.
