Pat Ancker
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching Ancker also has a solid changeup that he'll use at any point in the count. Ancker can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. His composure needs work. When Ancker starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. Ancker is a flyball pitcher susceptible to the home run. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting Ancker does an average job of holding runners. Ancker is nothing special in the field. Ancker is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Ancker has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Ancker as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook It's really a shame he hasn't caught on somewhere. He might be a decent addition to someone's bench.
