Pitching
Yelding can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Because he can't overpower hitters, Yelding has to fool them instead. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Yelding is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Yelding has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Yelding as a pinch-runner on occasion.
