Billy Kamm  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He keeps his pitches low in the strike zone and throws a heavy ball. Kamm also has a decent changeup. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. The one thing I must say I don't like about Kamm is how easily rattled he gets. If he makes a mistake to a hitter and the guy winds up on second or third, you can pretty much count on the guy scoring. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Kamm 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. Kamm is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Kamm has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Kamm 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.
