Jonny Storm  
Relief Pitcher | St. Louis Cardinals

Pitching
His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average reliever. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
His move to first isn't very good, but his delivery is fairly quick and he isn't overly vulnerable to the stolen base. Storm doesn't field his position well. Storm is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Storm has some pop in his swing.
