Joakim Switala
Relief Pitcher | Halifax Oilers
Pitching Switala has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Dating back to his days in the minors, Switala has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders.
Defense & Hitting Switala fields his position well. Switala does an average job of holding runners. Switala is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Switala has some pop in his swing.
