Peaches Williams  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Williams also has a solid changeup that he'll use at any point in the count. Williams can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Williams has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.

Defense & Hitting
He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Williams is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Williams has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Williams 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.
