Matt Drews  
Starting Pitcher | Boston Red Sox

Pitching
He's a finesse pitcher, relying on movement and location. He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. His fastball is just average, and therefore he relies heavily on placing it in different parts of the strike zone. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Drews does an average job of holding runners. He gets off the mound fairly quickly and his throws to first are hard. Drews is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Drews has some pop in his swing.

2010 Outlook
I really like what this guy brings to the table.
