Gary Westervelt  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He walks too many hitters and throws too many pitches. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Westervelt, and that's saying a lot. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Westervelt's follow-through leaves him in a vulnerable position, so he has trouble with comebackers. Westervelt is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Westervelt has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Westervelt as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2014 Outlook
But if you ask me, I'll pass on Westervelt.
