Dario Sabatini  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. 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 tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He attacks lefties and righties with similar success. He absolutely loves playing before the hometown crowd.

Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. He doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. Sabatini is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Sabatini has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Sabatini 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.
