Tiago Livingstone
Starting Pitcher | Victoria Islanders
Pitching Livingstone throws a nice sinker... The rookies never seem to know when it's coming. The Victoria Islanders hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. No one questions this guy's heart. They do question why he just can't get it done late in the game. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting 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. Livingstone doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. Livingstone is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Livingstone has some pop in his swing.
2025 Outlook Livingstone flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Victoria Islanders to send him down promptly. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Livingstone.
