Jake Richter  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
Richter can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. 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.

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. Richter is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Richter has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Richter 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.
