Lou Clapp
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching If you're going in to face Clapp, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Clapp, and that's saying a lot. When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Clapp's curveball tends to hang. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting Clapp is nothing special in the field. He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Clapp is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Clapp has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Clapp as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2010 Outlook What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Clapp to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Clapp.
