Brian VanSickle
Relief Pitcher | Lethbridge Typhoon
Pitching He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. VanSickle's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. VanSickle also has a decent changeup. The Lethbridge Typhoon hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting VanSickle 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. He's slow to get off the mound to field his position, especially to the third-base side. VanSickle is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but VanSickle has some pop in his swing.
