Patrick White
Relief Pitcher | Regina Pirates
Pitching His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. Steals sometimes unnerve White, who isn't blessed with extraordinary self-confidence. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.
Defense & Hitting 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. White doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. White is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but White has some pop in his swing.
