Gary Holz
Starting Pitcher | Sask Yellow Jackets
Pitching Holz can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Holz has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. Dating back to his days in the minors, Holz has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders.
Defense & Hitting He's average in terms of controlling the running game. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Holz is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Holz has some pop in his swing.
