Ron Papi  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Papi is a control pitcher; when he's on he has pinpoint control. He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success. He absolutely loves playing before the hometown crowd.

Defense & Hitting
He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately.
