John Koonce  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
Koonce is a control pitcher; when he's on he has pinpoint control. Koonce also has a decent changeup. Because he can't overpower hitters, Koonce has to fool them instead. His composure needs work. When Koonce starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Koonce has one of the better pickoff moves among big league righthanders. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Koonce is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Koonce has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Koonce 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.
