Ralph Shellenback
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Shellenback also has a decent changeup. If you're going in to face Shellenback, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He traditionally fares better against lefties.
Defense & Hitting Basestealers rarely test him. Shellenback is nothing special in the field. Shellenback is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Shellenback has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Shellenback 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.
