Felix Jenkins
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Jenkins can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He is an extreme flyball pitcher and gives up more than his share of doubles and home runs. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting Jenkins has a very good move to first base, and he varies it so that he's extremely difficult to read. 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.
