Eroni Nowell  
Relief Pitcher | Grand Rapids Red Dogs

Pitching
He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. Nowell is nothing special in the field. Nowell is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Nowell has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
The Grand Rapids Red Dogs signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Nowell like a hot potato if something better comes along.
