Redleg Sechrist
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching Sechrist 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 tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting His move to first isn't very good, but his delivery is fairly quick and he isn't overly vulnerable to the stolen base. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Sechrist is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Sechrist has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Sechrist as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Sechrist.
