Milt James  
Starting Pitcher | London Clash

Pitching
A groundball pitcher, James needs to have sharp command to succeed. James 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. James also has a decent changeup. 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. He doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. James is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but James has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The London Clash have been known to use James as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2014 Outlook
If James doesn't perform, the London Clash won't hesitate to send him down to the minors. I just don't know if The London Clash are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
