Winston Neater
Relief Pitcher | Yellowknife Bluenotes
Pitching When his release point drops below three-quarters, his fastball tends to hang in the strike zone. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! The one thing I must say I don't like about Neater is how easily rattled he gets. If he makes a mistake to a hitter and the guy winds up on second or third, you can pretty much count on the guy scoring. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.
Defense & Hitting He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. Neater is agile on the mound, though he makes needless errors when his concentration wanders. Neater is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Neater has some pop in his swing.
