Karl Gray  
Starting Pitcher | Paris Isotopes

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. Gray is a flyball pitcher, which can get him in trouble. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Gray fields his position well. He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. Gray is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Gray has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Paris Isotopes have been known to use Gray as a pinch-runner on occasion.
