William Shorty  
Starting Pitcher | Edinburgh Plaid Sox

Pitching
He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. Shorty's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Shorty's move to first base is average. He gets off the mound fairly quickly and his throws to first are hard. Shorty is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Shorty has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Edinburgh Plaid Sox have been known to use Shorty as a pinch-runner on occasion.
