Jack Krakauskas  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He's a pretty good ground-ball pitcher, which I like because ground balls stay in the park. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. 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. Krakauskas is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Krakauskas has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Krakauskas as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2014 Outlook
I really like what this kid brings to the table.
