Sadie Kleine  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
His changeup isn't bad... he fools his share of hitters. Kleine has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. If you're going in to face Kleine, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. Dating back to his days in the minors, Kleine has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. Kleine is nothing special in the field. Kleine is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Kleine has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Kleine 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.
