Pancho Snussey
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. The Free Agents hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Snussey's curveball tends to hang. In his first taste of the majors, he has kept lefthanders in check but wasn't as effective against righties.
Defense & Hitting He fields both bunts and slow groundballs in front of the plate equally well. His move to first isn't very good, but his delivery is fairly quick and he isn't overly vulnerable to the stolen base. Snussey is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Snussey has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Snussey 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.
