JT Sisler  
Relief Pitcher | Atlanta Braves

Pitching
The Atlanta Braves believe Sisler's slider to be the equal of almost any in the league. Sisler's bread-and-butter pitch is a hard, two-seam fastball that rides in on righthanders' fists. He walks too many hitters and throws too many pitches. In his first taste of the majors, he has kept righthanders in check but wasn't as effective against lefties.

Defense & Hitting
He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Sisler is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Sisler has some pop in his swing.

2010 Outlook
If Sisler doesn't perform, the Atlanta Braves won't hesitate to send him down to the minors. I just don't know if The Atlanta Braves are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
