Kevin Heady
Starting Pitcher | Morocco Mayhem
Pitching He keeps his pitches low in the strike zone and throws a heavy ball. Heady can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Heady also has a decent changeup. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success. It's hard to explain but Kevin Heady plays much better on the road then he does at home.
Defense & Hitting Heady has a very good move to first base, and he varies it so that he's extremely difficult to read. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Heady is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Heady has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Morocco Mayhem have been known to use Heady as a pinch-runner on occasion.
