Trent Sumners  
Relief Pitcher | Halifax Oilers

Pitching
He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. Sumners'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
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Sumners would seem to be an easy target for basestealers as he has a pedestrian pickoff move. But teams rarely try to run on him, perhaps because his pitches get to the plate quickly. Sumners is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Sumners has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Halifax Oilers have been known to use Sumners as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
The Halifax Oilers signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Sumners like a hot potato if something better comes along.
