Doug Velez  
Relief Pitcher | Grand Rapids Red Dogs

Pitching
Velez's control is among the best in the game. He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. He's a pretty good ground-ball pitcher, which I like because ground balls stay in the park. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Velez also has a decent changeup. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He has a quick release to the plate, which allows catchers a chance to throw out basestealers. Velez is nothing special in the field. Velez is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Velez has some pop in his swing.
