Kelly Deschenses  
Relief Pitcher | Chicago White Sox

Pitching
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. Deschenses's fastball was clocked at 95 MPH most of the season and he kept excellent control of it. Deschenses throws a nice sinker... The rookies never seem to know when it's coming. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Deschenses's move to first base is excellent. Deschenses is nothing special in the field. Deschenses is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Deschenses has some pop in his swing.

2010 Outlook
The Chicago White Sox were smart, they locked Deschenses up to a long term contract. Deschenses has impressed at the A-ball level. Look for the Chicago White Sox to give him a shot in Double or Triple A before the year is up. I really like what this guy brings to the table.
