Not really a trick pitch guy. But his fastball is pretty average. He has a good change up. He also has some deception going on because of his mechanics. But, the odds are that he is probably at best, a 7th inning type of pitcher. Great numbers, but he doesn't project to be anything special. I have him behind a guy like Jeremy Horst at this point simply because Horst has gotten it done in AAA with similar stuff and Manno hasn't yet done that.
