Nathan Short  
Starting Pitcher | Quebec Bulldogs

Pitching
His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. He walks too many hitters and throws too many pitches. But Short, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Short's move to first base is average. Short is nothing special in the field. Short is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Short has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
The Quebec Bulldogs signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Short like a hot potato if something better comes along.
