Billy Childs  
Starting Pitcher | Toronto Dragons

Pitching
His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. Never a hard thrower, Childs now has games when he can't hit 85 MPH with his fastball. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.

Defense & Hitting
Childs does an average job of holding runners. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Childs is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Childs has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Toronto Dragons have been known to use Childs as a pinch-runner on occasion.
