Cortlan Menard  
Starting Pitcher | Owen Sound Crusaders

Pitching
Menard can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is only fair. Menard is nothing special in the field. Menard is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Menard has some pop in his swing.
