Kit Nieves   Starting Pitcher | Victoria Islanders Pitching He has the ability to coax groundballs, which helps him succeed. Nieves 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. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties. Defense & Hitting His move to first isn't very good, but his delivery is fairly quick and he isn't overly vulnerable to the stolen base. Nieves is nothing special in the field. Nieves is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Nieves has some pop in his swing.           -- Moostard Nyman
