Alejandro Marapini  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
Marapini can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Marapini also has a decent changeup. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. 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. Marapini is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Marapini has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Marapini 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.
