Jordan Whitta
Starting Pitcher | Victoria Islanders
Pitching When healthy, Whitta is the prototypical veteran finesse pitcher. His changeup isn't bad... he fools his share of hitters. Because he can't overpower hitters, Whitta has to fool them instead. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.
Defense & Hitting His slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Whitta helps himself by holding runners with throws to first, and with slide steps and varied deliveries to home. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Whitta is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Whitta has some pop in his swing.
