Scott Smythe  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. Because he can't overpower hitters, Smythe has to fool them instead. But Smythe, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. 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. Smythe is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Smythe has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Smythe 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.
