Reece Creighton  
Starting Pitcher | Yellowknife Bluenotes

Pitching
He's a finesse pitcher, relying on movement and location. He keeps the ball down and gets a lot of groundballs. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Creighton does a great job of thwarting runners with varied pickoff moves and a quick release to home. Creighton is nothing special in the field. Creighton is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Creighton has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Yellowknife Bluenotes have been known to use Creighton as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
The Yellowknife Bluenotes signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Creighton like a hot potato if something better comes along.
