Brooks Irving  
Relief Pitcher | Val d'Or Sharks

Pitching
He has the ability to coax groundballs, which helps him succeed. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. The Val d'Or Sharks 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. Dating back to his days in the minors, Irving has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Irving is nothing special in the field. He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Irving is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Irving has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Val d'Or Sharks have been known to use Irving as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
The Val d'Or Sharks signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Irving like a hot potato if something better comes along.
