Antwuin Linquist
Relief Pitcher | Halifax Oilers
Pitching He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. Linquist also throws a screwball. And let me tell you, it's not a bad one at that. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is only fair. 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. Linquist is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Linquist has some pop in his swing.
