Pitching
He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting
He gobbles up comebackers, sometimes roaming far from the mound to get a glove on a ball. He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. Stathokos is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Stathokos has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Guelph Storm have been known to use Stathokos as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook
The Guelph Storm were smart, they locked Stathokos up to a long term contract. Stathokos has impressed at the A-ball level. Look for the Guelph Storm to give him a shot in Double or Triple A before the year is up. I really like what this kid brings to the table.
