Archie Carstensen  
Starting Pitcher | Paris Isotopes

Pitching
He keeps the ball down and gets a lot of groundballs. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Carstensen also throws a screwball. The Paris Isotopes 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. He traditionally fares better against lefties.

Defense & Hitting
His slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Carstensen 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.

2014 Outlook
AA isn't the right place for Carstensen. Expect the Paris Isotopes to send him down for some minor retooling. I just don't know if The Paris Isotopes are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
