Trent McNamara  
Starting Pitcher | Yellowknife Bluenotes

Pitching
He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. The bottom also falls out of his very good changeup. McNamara can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. McNamara's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He has a very good move to first base and is solid at controlling the running game. He gets off the mound fairly quickly and his throws to first are hard. McNamara is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but McNamara has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Yellowknife Bluenotes have been known to use McNamara as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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