Jim Wakelin   Starting Pitcher | Moose Jaw Dragons Pitching Wakelin's bread-and-butter pitch is a hard, two-seam fastball that rides in on righthanders' fists. Wakelin can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Wakelin has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. Dating back to his days in the minors, Wakelin has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders. Defense & Hitting Wakelin uses a slide step to keep runners close. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Wakelin is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Wakelin has some pop in his swing.           -- Moostard Nyman
