Tom Hadlee
Relief Pitcher | Victoria Islanders
Pitching Hadlee's bread-and-butter pitch is a hard, two-seam fastball that rides in on righthanders' fists. His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. Hadlee has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. The Victoria Islanders hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. Because he can't overpower hitters, Hadlee has to fool them instead. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.
Defense & Hitting He's average in terms of controlling the running game. Hadlee doesn't field his position well. Hadlee is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hadlee has some pop in his swing.
