Jim Monteagudo  
Starting Pitcher | Chicago Windbags

Pitching
He has the ability to coax groundballs, which helps him succeed. Monteagudo also has a solid changeup that he'll use at any point in the count. Monteagudo 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. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success. It's hard to explain but Jim Monteagudo plays much better on the road then he does at home.

Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Monteagudo is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Monteagudo has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Chicago Windbags have been known to use Monteagudo as a pinch-runner on occasion.
