Tom Fordham  
Starting Pitcher | Toronto Blue Jays

Pitching
Fordham's control is among the best in the game. His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average starter. Fordham also has a decent changeup. Because he can't overpower hitters, Fordham has to fool them instead. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Fordham is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Fordham has some pop in his swing.
