Glenallen Jelks
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching He's a finesse pitcher, relying on movement and location. The bottom also falls out of his very good changeup. Jelks has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.
Defense & Hitting Jelks does an average job of holding runners. Jelks doesn't field his position well. Jelks is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Jelks has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Jelks as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook It's really a shame he hasn't caught on somewhere. He might be a decent addition to someone's bench.
