Bill Naktenis  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He keeps his pitches low in the strike zone and throws a heavy ball. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. His composure needs work. When Naktenis starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. Naktenis also throws a screwball. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is only fair. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Naktenis is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Naktenis has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Naktenis as a pinch-runner on occasion.
