Jake Hartley
Starting Pitcher | London Clash
Pitching Hartley can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Hartley is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hartley has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The London Clash have been known to use Hartley as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook If Hartley doesn't perform, the London Clash won't hesitate to send him down to the minors. I just don't know if The London Clash are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
