Walter Mellor  
Relief Pitcher | Fredericton Bandits

Pitching
A groundball pitcher, Mellor needs to have sharp command to succeed. His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. Dating back to his days in the minors, Mellor has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
A quick pickoff move and a slide step prevent runners from stealing bases. Mellor is nothing special in the field. Mellor is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Mellor has some pop in his swing.
