Jocko Sprinz  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. 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. Because he can't overpower hitters, Sprinz has to fool them instead. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

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