Marty Amelung  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
His sinking two-seam fastball and slider produce tons of groundballs. Amelung also has a decent changeup. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. If you're going in to face Amelung, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him.

Defense & Hitting
Amelung does an average job of holding runners. Amelung is nothing special in the field. Amelung is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Amelung has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Amelung as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2014 Outlook
I just don't know if The Free Agents are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
