Rudy Hitchens   Starting Pitcher | Fredericton Bandits Pitching Hitchens's bread and butter pitch is his slider. I've seen it baffle many a lefty. He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. He's a pretty good ground-ball pitcher, which I like because ground balls stay in the park. Hitchens can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Hitchens also has a decent changeup. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties. Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is only fair. Hitchens never has been a good fielder. Hitchens is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hitchens has some pop in his swing.           -- Emu Nyman, AA/AAA Scout
