Greg Fidler  
Starting Pitcher | Cincinnati Reds

Pitching
Fidler 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. His pitches lose some movement when he pitches from the stretch position. 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 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. Fidler is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Fidler has some pop in his swing.
