Ed Spies   Relief Pitcher | PEI Argonauts Pitching He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. Spies has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. Spies's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties. Defense & Hitting Spies remains one of the best fielding pitchers in the game's history. He has a quick release to the plate, which allows catchers a chance to throw out basestealers. Spies is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Spies has some pop in his swing.           -- Moostard Nyman
