Garrett Cortright

[EagleOriole]

40th round draft pick out of Canisius. Perhaps it is time to move him up to Frederick (1.09 ERA in 41.1 IP). The Frederick pitching staff could use some help.

Thanks Doc. Any word on what types of pitches he throws?

According to Doug Newton, Shorebirds broadcaster, Cortright throws from a low angle/release point. Basically sidearm. Two-seam fastball around 90 mph, good sink. Gets a ton a groundouts (about 3 for every flyout). Big hooking slider, that's his out pitch vs. righties. RHB hit only ~.100 against him. And then he's throwing his changeup more lately, mostly to lefty batters.
