Darrell Walsh
Starting Pitcher | St Paul Pride
Pitching He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Walsh also has a solid changeup that he'll use at any point in the count. His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average starter. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. The St Paul Pride 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 traditionally fares better against lefties.
Defense & Hitting Walsh expects to be an active participant in the infield defense and does a good job of getting to grounders back up the middle. For a lefty, his move to first base is average at best, and he has a tendency to forget about runners at second, thereby creating opportunities to swipe third. Walsh is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Walsh has some pop in his swing.
