Adam Pierson
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching A groundball pitcher, Pierson needs to have sharp command to succeed. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. Never a hard thrower, Pierson now has games when he can't hit 85 MPH with his fastball. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is merely average. He hurts himself by falling awkwardly off the mound in his follow-through, which allows too many balls to go through the middle for base hits. Pierson is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Pierson has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Pierson as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook I just don't know if The Free Agents are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
