Herman Duncan  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
The Free Agents 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. Steals sometimes unnerve Duncan, who isn't blessed with extraordinary self-confidence. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Duncan, and that's saying a lot. When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Duncan's curveball tends to hang. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. He's slow to get off the mound to field his position, especially to the third-base side. Duncan is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Duncan has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Duncan as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2014 Outlook
But if you ask me, I'll pass on Duncan.
