Juan Ferriss
Starting Pitcher | Barcelona Matadors
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. Ferriss 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. He traditionally fares better against lefties.
Defense & Hitting Ferriss does an average job of holding runners. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Ferriss is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Ferriss has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Barcelona Matadors have been known to use Ferriss as a pinch-runner on occasion.
