Pier-Luc Sawaya  
Relief Pitcher | Port Hope Battery

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Sawaya is a flyball pitcher, which can get him in trouble. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He shows a good pickoff move and never lets runners detract from his pitching. Sawaya is agile on the mound, though he makes needless errors when his concentration wanders. Sawaya is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Sawaya has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Port Hope Battery have been known to use Sawaya 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 Sawaya like a hot potato if something better comes along.
