Kewin Wilkens  
Starting Pitcher | Quebec Bulldogs

Pitching
He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. Wilkens's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. The Quebec Bulldogs 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 tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Wilkens's move to first base is average. 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. Wilkens is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Wilkens has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
The Quebec Bulldogs signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Wilkens like a hot potato if something better comes along.
