Heinrich Gladspotz  
Starting Pitcher | Chicago Windbags

Pitching
He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. Gladspotz can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Gladspotz's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. Gladspotz also has a decent changeup. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He is an extreme flyball pitcher and gives up more than his share of doubles and home runs. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He shows a good pickoff move and never lets runners detract from his pitching. 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. Gladspotz is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Gladspotz has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Chicago Windbags have been known to use Gladspotz as a pinch-runner on occasion.
