James Hudson
Starting Pitcher | Ottawa Milk Men
Pitching He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Hudson can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Hudson also has a decent changeup. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. 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. Hudson is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hudson has some pop in his swing.
