Jim Caster
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching A groundball pitcher, Caster needs to have sharp command to succeed. Caster 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. Caster also has a decent changeup. His pitches lose some movement when he pitches from the stretch position. He attacks lefties and righties the same way.
Defense & Hitting Caster does an average job of holding runners. Caster is nothing special in the field. Caster is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Caster has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Caster 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.
