Donn King
Starting Pitcher | Morocco Mayhem
Pitching He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. King also has a decent changeup. The Morocco Mayhem 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. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. 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. King is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but King has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Morocco Mayhem have been known to use King as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook If King doesn't perform, the Morocco Mayhem won't hesitate to send him down to the minors. I just don't know if The Morocco Mayhem are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
