ALTOONA, PA – The Pirates have their complex league teams in the playoffs right now. I’m in Altoona this week, and got my first look at Jackson Wolf last night.
Player of the Day
JACKSON WOLF, LHP, ALTOONA
The Pirates added Wolf in the Rich Hill trade. The lefty stands out for his deception, first and foremost. He’s got a unique rhythm in his delivery from the windup, with a lot of movement to his body, completing with an arm slot that extends out away from his body to create angles.
Wolf was mostly 87-89 MPH with his fastball, getting some depth from the pitch.
