Tanyon Sturtze  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Sturtze's curveball tends to hang. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Sturtze does an average job of holding runners. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Sturtze is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Sturtze has some pop in his swing.

2010 Outlook
But if you ask me, I'll pass on Sturtze.
