Solly Gillenwater  
Starting Pitcher | Atlanta Braves

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. In his first taste of the majors, he has kept lefthanders in check but wasn't as effective against righties.

Defense & Hitting
Gillenwater has an impressive presence on the mound, always taking an aggressive posture. He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. Gillenwater is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Gillenwater has some pop in his swing.
