Nicolette Soucy
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Soucy throws a nice sinker... The rookies never seem to know when it's coming. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Soucy also has a decent changeup. His pitches lose some movement when he pitches from the stretch position. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.
Defense & Hitting Runners do not get a good jump on Soucy... many have noted that his motion is difficult to pick up. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Soucy is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Soucy has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Soucy as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook I really like what this kid brings to the table.
