Nigel Lutui  
Starting Pitcher | Cold Lake Mud Cats

Pitching
His changeup isn't bad... he fools his share of hitters. Lutui 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. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.

Defense & Hitting
Lutui is nothing special in the field. He doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. Lutui is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Lutui has some pop in his swing.
