Bill Henderson
Starting Pitcher | Paris Isotopes
Pitching Henderson 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. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Henderson is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Henderson has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Paris Isotopes have been known to use Henderson as a pinch-runner on occasion.
