Fred Gastfield
Starting Pitcher | Dublin Deadbeat Drunks
Pitching Gastfield performs extremely well in the late innings, but unfortunately his endurance prevents him from getting there very often. His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average starter. Gastfield can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Because he can't overpower hitters, Gastfield has to fool them instead. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is merely average. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Gastfield is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Gastfield has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Dublin Deadbeat Drunks have been known to use Gastfield as a pinch-runner on occasion.
