Heath Russell   Relief Pitcher | Regina Pirates Pitching He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Russell also has a decent changeup. He traditionally fares better against lefties. Defense & Hitting Russell has an impressive presence on the mound, always taking an aggressive posture. He never has controlled the running game. Russell is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Russell has some pop in his swing.           -- Moostard Nyman
