Greg Bailey
Starting Pitcher | Chicago Windbags
Pitching He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Bailey can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Bailey's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. Bailey also has a decent changeup. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting With a decent slide step and his constant attention to the running game, Bailey limits the damage done by basestealers. He hurts himself by falling awkwardly off the mound in his follow-through, which allows too many balls to go through the middle for base hits. Bailey is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Bailey has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Chicago Windbags have been known to use Bailey as a pinch-runner on occasion.
