Brent Crowther  
Starting Pitcher | Idaho Sporks

Pitching
Crowther can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Crowther also has a decent changeup. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Crowther does an average job of holding runners. 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. Crowther is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Crowther has some pop in his swing.
