Milt Fitzsimmons  
Relief Pitcher | Montreal Expos

Pitching
His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. He attacks lefties and righties the same way.

Defense & Hitting
Fitzsimmons has one of the better pickoff moves among big league righthanders. Fitzsimmons is nothing special in the field. Fitzsimmons is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Fitzsimmons has some pop in his swing.
