Matthew Stevenson
Starting Pitcher | Charlottetown Blues
Pitching His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. Stevenson can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Stevenson is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Stevenson has some pop in his swing.
