Rit Porto  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
A groundball pitcher, Porto needs to have sharp command to succeed. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. The Free Agents hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is only fair. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Porto is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Porto has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Porto 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.
