Brad Huntz
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching He has the ability to coax groundballs, which helps him succeed. 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 Huntz, and that's saying a lot. In his first taste of the majors, he has kept lefthanders in check but wasn't as effective against righties.
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. He has a poor pickoff move and a slow delivery, so basestealers can run at will. Huntz is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Huntz has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Huntz as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Huntz.
