Chris Young  
Relief Pitcher | Cleveland Lions

Pitching
He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. His fastball is just average, and therefore he relies heavily on placing it in different parts of the strike zone. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Young is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Young has some pop in his swing.

2010 Outlook
I really like what this kid brings to the table.
