Charlie Banks  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Banks also has a decent changeup. The Retired or Inactive Players hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He traditionally fares better against lefties.

Defense & Hitting
He has quick feet and can catch runners napping at first or second base. Banks is nothing special in the field. Banks is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Banks has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Banks as a pinch-runner on occasion.
