Colin Roddick
Relief Pitcher | Yellowknife Bluenotes
Pitching He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. Roddick's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. Roddick also has a decent changeup. The Yellowknife Bluenotes 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 trying to develop a sinker, but as of yet it's been well below par. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting Roddick has one of the better pickoff moves among big league righthanders. He gets off the mound fairly quickly and his throws to first are hard. Roddick is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Roddick has some pop in his swing.
