Aidan Simmons   Relief Pitcher | Sask Yellow Jackets Pitching Simmons's bread and butter pitch is his slider. I've seen it baffle many a lefty. Simmons has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. Because he can't overpower hitters, Simmons has to fool them instead. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties. Defense & Hitting He has quick feet and can catch runners napping at first or second base. Simmons has an impressive presence on the mound, always taking an aggressive posture. Simmons is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Simmons has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Sask Yellow Jackets have been known to use Simmons as a pinch-runner on occasion. 2025 Outlook The Sask Yellow Jackets signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Simmons like a hot potato if something better comes along.           -- Ska Nyman, A-Ball Scout
