Domingo Chavez
Starting Pitcher | Morocco Mayhem
Pitching His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. The Morocco Mayhem 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 pitches lose some movement when he pitches from the stretch position. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting Chavez's move to first base is average. Chavez is agile on the mound, though he makes needless errors when his concentration wanders. Chavez is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Chavez has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Morocco Mayhem have been known to use Chavez as a pinch-runner on occasion.
