Sam Scott
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching Scott 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. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! Never a hard thrower, Scott now has games when he can't hit 85 MPH with his fastball. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting Scott does an average job of holding runners. 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. Scott is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Scott has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Scott 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.
