Carleton Dorce  
Starting Pitcher | Barcelona Matadors

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. 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
Dorce does an average job of holding runners. 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. Dorce is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Dorce has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Barcelona Matadors have been known to use Dorce as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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