Jacques Meineke
Relief Pitcher | Val d'Or Sharks
Pitching His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average reliever. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. His composure needs work. When Meineke starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. 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. Meineke does a very poor job of holding baserunners because of his deliberate move to home plate. Meineke is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Meineke has some pop in his swing.
