JR Power
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching Power can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. He traditionally fares better against lefties.
Defense & Hitting He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. Power doesn't field his position well. Power is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Power has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Power as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook It's really a shame he hasn't caught on somewhere. He might be a decent addition to someone's bench.
