Pete Spencer  
Starting Pitcher | Yellowknife Bluenotes

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. Spencer can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Spencer has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.

Defense & Hitting
Spencer uses a slide step to keep runners close. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Spencer is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Spencer has some pop in his swing.
