Mule Kirkpatrick
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Kirkpatrick also has a decent changeup. If you're going in to face Kirkpatrick, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. Kirkpatrick never has been a good fielder. Kirkpatrick is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Kirkpatrick has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Kirkpatrick as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook I just don't know if The Free Agents are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
