Dutch Neu
Starting Pitcher | Chicago Windbags
Pitching Neu can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball is just average, and therefore he relies heavily on placing it in different parts of the strike zone or setting it up with his changeup. Neu also has a decent changeup. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting Neu does an average job of holding runners. A shaky fielder, he's slow to react to grounders and often looks unsure on his throws to the bases. Neu is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Neu has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Chicago Windbags have been known to use Neu as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook I really like what this guy brings to the table.
