Al Huking  
Starting Pitcher | Victoria Islanders

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Huking also has a decent changeup. 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. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Huking is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Huking has some pop in his swing.
