Walter Cronkite  
Starting Pitcher | Detroit Polar Bears

Pitching
He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. His pitches lose some movement when he pitches from the stretch position. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him.

Defense & Hitting
He has a quick release to the plate, which allows catchers a chance to throw out basestealers. Cronkite is nothing special in the field.
