Desmond Templeton  
Relief Pitcher | Lethbridge Typhoon

Pitching
Templeton is a control pitcher; when he's on he has pinpoint control. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Templeton gives up his share of home runs, but is always around the plate and doesn't give up many walks. This man owns lefties. Put it this way, if your lineup is full of them, you might want rethink your lineup.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is only fair. Templeton's follow-through leaves him in a vulnerable position, so he has trouble with comebackers. Templeton is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Templeton has some pop in his swing.

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