Larvell Konetchy  
Starting Pitcher | Detroit Polar Bears

Pitching
Konetchy can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Konetchy also has a decent changeup. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is only fair. 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. Konetchy is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Konetchy has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Detroit Polar Bears have been known to use Konetchy as a pinch-runner on occasion.
