Raphael Vivaldi  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Vivaldi is a control pitcher; when he's on he has pinpoint control. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Vivaldi gives up his share of home runs, but is always around the plate and doesn't give up many walks. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is only fair. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Vivaldi is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Vivaldi has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Vivaldi as a pinch-runner on occasion.
