Willie Warfield  
Relief Pitcher | Vancouver Orcas

Pitching
He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. Warfield's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. Warfield also has a decent changeup. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. 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. Warfield is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Warfield has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
Warfield performance in AAA is making it difficult for the Vancouver Orcas to ignore him much longer. Expect his name to be on the September call-up list. I really like what this guy brings to the table.
