Henry Tudor  
Relief Pitcher | New York Mets

Pitching
He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. His fastball is just average, and therefore he relies heavily on placing it in different parts of the strike zone. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Tudor's move to first base is excellent. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Tudor is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Tudor has some pop in his swing.

2010 Outlook
The New York Mets were smart, they locked Tudor up to a long term contract. Tudor has impressed at the A-ball level. Look for the New York Mets to give him a shot in Double or Triple A before the year is up. I really like what this kid brings to the table.
