Waite Nasby  
Relief Pitcher | Houston RedNexx

Pitching
Nasby is a control pitcher; when he's on he has pinpoint control. Though Nasby can't just blow the ball by hitters, he has some giddyup on his fastball. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. Because he can't overpower hitters, Nasby has to fool them instead. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. This man owns lefties. Put it this way, if your lineup is full of them, you might want rethink your lineup.

Defense & Hitting
Nasby's quickness helps him get off the mound and field as well as anyone in the league. Nasby has a lousy move to first, and opposing managers will run against him all day. Nasby is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Nasby has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Houston RedNexx have been known to use Nasby as a pinch-runner on occasion.
