Mitch Laflore
Starting Pitcher | Cobourg Stampeders
Pitching Laflore can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Laflore also has a decent changeup. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting Laflore does an average job of holding runners. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Laflore is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Laflore has some pop in his swing.
