Sam Mason  
Starting Pitcher | Port Hope Battery

Pitching
His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average starter. The Port Hope Battery 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. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. A shaky fielder, he's slow to react to grounders and often looks unsure on his throws to the bases. Mason is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Mason has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Port Hope Battery have been known to use Mason as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
The Port Hope Battery signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Mason like a hot potato if something better comes along.
