Albert Cianfrancco  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Cianfrancco is a control pitcher; when he's on he has pinpoint control. Cianfrancco also has a decent changeup. Cianfrancco gives up his share of home runs, but is always around the plate and doesn't give up many walks. His composure needs work. When Cianfrancco starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Cianfrancco's move to first base is average. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Cianfrancco is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Cianfrancco has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Cianfrancco as a pinch-runner on occasion.
