David Cone  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

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. A shaky fielder, he's slow to react to grounders and often looks unsure on his throws to the bases. Cone is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Cone has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Cone as a pinch-runner on occasion.
