John Nuernberg  
Relief Pitcher | Quebec Bulldogs

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Nuernberg also has a decent changeup. The Quebec Bulldogs hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. He never has controlled the running game. Nuernberg is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Nuernberg has some pop in his swing.
