Luis Chamberlain
Starting Pitcher | Chicago Windbags
Pitching Chamberlain performs extremely well in the late innings, but unfortunately his endurance prevents him from getting there very often. He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. Chamberlain can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Chamberlain has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. Chamberlain's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.
Defense & Hitting Chamberlain does an average job of holding runners. Chamberlain seems distracted after his delivery. He's sometimes out of position, fails to cover a base or doesn't back up throws. Chamberlain is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Chamberlain has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Chicago Windbags have been known to use Chamberlain as a pinch-runner on occasion.
