Doc Fowler  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He has the ability to coax groundballs, which helps him succeed. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Fowler also has a decent changeup. 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. He attacks lefties and righties the same way.

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. Fowler is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Fowler has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Fowler as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2014 Outlook
It's really a shame he hasn't caught on somewhere. He might be a decent addition to someone's bench.
