LaTroy Hawkins
Starting Pitcher | Nevada Stars
Pitching The bottom also falls out of his very good changeup. Hawkins 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 composure needs work. When Hawkins starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting A quick pickoff move and a slide step prevent runners from stealing bases. Hawkins is nothing special in the field. Hawkins is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hawkins has some pop in his swing.
