Vince Henry
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching Henry likes to get hitters looking down and away, then ties them up by coming inside with hard stuff, getting a lot of groundball outs. His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. The Free Agents hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Henry, and that's saying a lot. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting 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. Henry doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. Henry is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Henry has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Henry as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook I just don't know if The Free Agents are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
