Pete Smith  
Starting Pitcher | Morocco Mayhem

Pitching
He's unflappable on the mound, possessing the confidence to throw any of his offerings at any time in the count. His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average starter. Smith can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Smith has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. But Smith, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.

Defense & Hitting
Smith's move to first base is average. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately.
