Hanif Derousse  
Starting Pitcher | Morocco Mayhem

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. Derousse can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. When his release point drops below three-quarters, his fastball tends to hang in the strike zone. 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
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. Derousse is nothing special in the field. Derousse is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Derousse has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Morocco Mayhem have been known to use Derousse as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2014 Outlook
If Derousse doesn't perform, the Morocco Mayhem won't hesitate to send him down to the minors. I just don't know if The Morocco Mayhem are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
