Dalton Himmel  
Starting Pitcher | Toronto Dragons

Pitching
He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. Himmel can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Himmel also has a decent changeup. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Basestealers rarely test him. A decent fielder, Himmel is quick around the mound and has good instincts. Himmel is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Himmel has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Toronto Dragons have been known to use Himmel as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2014 Outlook
I really like what this kid brings to the table.
