Breaking down the Brendan Donovan Trade 🧵: SWP- Jurrangelo Cijntje (AA) Cijntje is a switch pitcher who is much more proficient from the right side than the left side, even to the point where Seattle wasn't going to use the left hand this season. From the right side he boasts a mid to high 90s fastball touching 98 with good movement, and then a mid 80s slider which is his best complementary pitch. The changeup is hard and while it's his third best pitch, getting him the Cardinals organization should help him develop that changeup further. Cijntje is an elite pitcher against right handed batters holding them to a .166 average and a .480 OPS, though he struggles against lefties giving up a .252 average and a .845 OPS. I believe the Cardinals will drop the left-hand, but if they don't he features a low 90s fastball with a low 80s sweeper that profiles as a fringe bullpen role.
