Takegorou Manei  
Starting Pitcher | Owen Sound Crusaders

Pitching
Manei 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. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. His composure needs work. When Manei starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. This man owns lefties. Put it this way, if your lineup is full of them, you might want rethink your lineup.

Defense & Hitting
He has quick feet and can catch runners napping at first or second base. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Manei is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Manei has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
The Owen Sound Crusaders signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Manei like a hot potato if something better comes along.
