Bill Smith@  
Relief Pitcher | Fredericton Bandits

Pitching
He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average reliever. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. Smith's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

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