Bo Frankhouse  
Relief Pitcher | Paris Isotopes

Pitching
Frankhouse's bread-and-butter pitch is a hard, two-seam fastball that rides in on righthanders' fists. Frankhouse has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. Frankhouse also has a decent changeup. If you're going in to face Frankhouse, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Frankhouse, and that's saying a lot. Dating back to his days in the minors, Frankhouse has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
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. His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on.

2014 Outlook
One has to wonder what Bo Frankhouse is doing in AA. In all honesty, he could use a lot of work on the fundamentals in the low minors. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Frankhouse.
