Marco Larke  
Relief Pitcher | Cobourg Stampeders

Pitching
He's a finesse pitcher, relying on movement and location. He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. He keeps the ball down and gets a lot of groundballs. His fastball is just average, and therefore he relies heavily on placing it in different parts of the strike zone or setting it up with his changeup. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. Larke is nothing special in the field. Larke is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Larke has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
Larke performance in AAA is making it difficult for the Cobourg Stampeders to ignore him much longer. Expect his name to be on the September call-up list. I really like what this guy brings to the table.
