Dave Hardinges  
Relief Pitcher | Victoria Islanders

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. Hardinges is nothing special in the field. Hardinges is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hardinges has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Victoria Islanders have been known to use Hardinges as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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