TJ McKnight  
Relief Pitcher | Lethbridge Typhoon

Pitching
McKnight's control is among the best in the game. His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than McKnight, and that's saying a lot. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

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. He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. McKnight is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but McKnight has some pop in his swing.
