Dave Stevens  
Relief Pitcher | Atlanta Braves

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Stevens also has a decent changeup. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Stevens is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Stevens has some pop in his swing.
