Matty McGinty  
Relief Pitcher | Houston RedNexx

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. McGinty also throws a screwball. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.

Defense & Hitting
Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. McGinty is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but McGinty has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Houston RedNexx have been known to use McGinty as a pinch-runner on occasion.
