Pitching
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
His pickoff move is only fair. Patchett seems distracted after his delivery. He's sometimes out of position, fails to cover a base or doesn't back up throws. Patchett is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Patchett has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Port Hope Battery have been known to use Patchett as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook
The Port Hope Battery signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Patchett like a hot potato if something better comes along.
