Lou Hughes  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average starter. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. Because he can't overpower hitters, Hughes has to fool them instead. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Hughes's move to first base is average. 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.
