Pat Mellor
Starting Pitcher | Paris Isotopes
Pitching He keeps his pitches low in the strike zone and throws a heavy ball. His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting A quick pickoff move and a slide step prevent runners from stealing bases. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Mellor is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Mellor has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Paris Isotopes have been known to use Mellor as a pinch-runner on occasion.
