Yuri Madlem
Starting Pitcher | Grand Rapids Red Dogs
Pitching He's a finesse pitcher, relying on movement and location. Madlem has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Madlem also has a decent changeup. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.
Defense & Hitting Madlem does an average job of holding runners. Madlem is nothing special in the field. Madlem is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Madlem has some pop in his swing.
