Throws a fastball, cut fastball, changeup and curveball. In starts, he attempts to establish the fastball early and work from there. As a reliever, he mixes immediately, with the curveball working against lefty batters. Hurdle said the decisiveness in Hampson's pitch selection is a plus

Justin Hampson also has a shot at a spot start in the sixth slot, though he will be used in long relief the next time there's an opportunity for a reliever to fill in with a pair of innings.

"He's here for a reason," Hurdle emphasized. "If the opportunities don't provide themselves for him to pitch long, we'll probably look for an opportunity to get him a start. We want to get him on the mound and give him an opportunity to participate and compete."
