Rudy Crawford
Starting Pitcher | Val d'Or Sharks
Pitching Crawford will give up home runs, but rarely with the game on the line. His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average starter. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Crawford also has a decent changeup. He generates few groundballs, though he keeps the ball in the park. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Crawford is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher.
2024 Outlook I don't say this often, but I'll say it for Crawford: he's one of the highest rated pitchers on my scouting sheet.
