Leroy Runnells  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. Runnells also has a decent changeup. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties. It's hard to explain but Leroy Runnells plays much better on the road then he does at home.

Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. 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.
