Lucas Neff
Relief Pitcher | Val d'Or Sharks
Pitching Neff changeup is 15 MPH slower than the fastball, and he has so mastered the pitch that he can throw it three different ways with three different actions. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting Neff has a very good move to first base, and he varies it so that he's extremely difficult to read. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Neff is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Neff has some pop in his swing.
