Felix Sweazea  
Starting Pitcher | Grand Rapids Red Dogs

Pitching
Sweazea's control is among the best in the game. Though Sweazea can't just blow the ball by hitters, he has some giddyup on his fastball. Sweazea also throws a screwball. And let me tell you, it's not a bad one at that. Sweazea also has a decent changeup. Because he can't overpower hitters, Sweazea has to fool them instead. He generates few groundballs, though he generally keeps the ball in the park. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Sweazea fields his position well. Sweazea does an average job of holding runners. Sweazea is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Sweazea has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
Sweazea performance in AAA is making it difficult for the Grand Rapids Red Dogs to ignore him much longer. Expect his name to be on the September call-up list. I really like what this guy brings to the table.
