Luigi DCaprio
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching DCaprio 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. But DCaprio, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. DCaprio is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but DCaprio has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use DCaprio as a pinch-runner on occasion.
