Clay Ledesma  
Relief Pitcher | Regina Pirates

Pitching
This guy has closer written all over him. He keeps his pitches low in the strike zone and throws a heavy ball. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He traditionally fares better against lefties.

Defense & Hitting
Ledesma is a reliable fielder who doesn't get rattled on defensive plays and is rarely out of fielding position. He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. Ledesma is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Ledesma has some pop in his swing.
