Akili McElhoe  
Starting Pitcher | Sask Yellow Jackets

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. McElhoe can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. McElhoe also has a decent changeup. He traditionally fares better against lefties.

Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. McElhoe is nothing special in the field. McElhoe is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but McElhoe has some pop in his swing.
