George Aguilera
Starting Pitcher | London Clash
Pitching He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Though Aguilera can't just blow the ball by hitters, he has some giddyup on his fastball. Aguilera can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. Because he can't overpower hitters, Aguilera has to fool them instead. He traditionally fares better against lefties.
Defense & Hitting His slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Aguilera helps himself by holding runners with throws to first, and with slide steps and varied deliveries to home. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Aguilera is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Aguilera has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The London Clash have been known to use Aguilera as a pinch-runner on occasion.
