Shayne Klink  
Starting Pitcher | Halifax Oilers

Pitching
Klink can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Klink also has a decent changeup. Steals sometimes unnerve Klink, who isn't blessed with extraordinary self-confidence. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Klink is nothing special in the field. Obviously, basestealers are a problem for any knuckleballer, but Klink must learn to cope with runners. Klink is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Klink has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
If Klink doesn't perform, the Halifax Oilers won't hesitate to send him down to the minors. I just don't know if The Halifax Oilers are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
