Craig Hean  
Relief Pitcher | Moose Jaw Dragons

Pitching
He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. Hean also has a decent changeup. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He traditionally fares better against lefties.

Defense & Hitting
He's a good athlete and moves around well, fielding his position with Gold Glove potential. He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. Hean is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hean has some pop in his swing.

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