Roy Chamberlin
Starting Pitcher | Grand Rapids Red Dogs
Pitching He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. He keeps his pitches low in the strike zone and throws a heavy ball. His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average starter. Chamberlin can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball is just average, and therefore he relies heavily on placing it in different parts of the strike zone or setting it up with his curveball. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting Chamberlin has lots of energy. He comes off the mound like a cat and doesn't make many errors. He has a quick pickoff move, but sometimes concentrates on pitching so much that he forgets about runners. Chamberlin is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher.
2024 Outlook I don't say this often, but I'll say it for Chamberlin: he's one of the highest rated pitchers on my scouting sheet.
