Merwin Hendershott  
Starting Pitcher | Barcelona Matadors

Pitching
He's a finesse pitcher, relying on movement and location. Hendershott also has a solid changeup that he'll use at any point in the count. Because he can't overpower hitters, Hendershott has to fool them instead. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He fields both bunts and slow groundballs in front of the plate equally well. Hendershott does an average job of holding runners. Hendershott is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hendershott has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Barcelona Matadors have been known to use Hendershott as a pinch-runner on occasion.
