Matthew Wasdell  
Starting Pitcher | Moose Jaw Dragons

Pitching
He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Wasdell is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Wasdell has some pop in his swing.
