Jon Kinzinger  
Relief Pitcher | Sask Yellow Jackets

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. Because he can't overpower hitters, Kinzinger has to fool them instead. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Kinzinger is nothing special in the field. His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on. Kinzinger is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Kinzinger has some pop in his swing.
