Tom Glavine  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
It's tough to get much loft on the ball against him, as he works down in the strike zone to begin with and his two-seamer produces mostly groundballs. His changeup isn't bad... he fools his share of hitters. Glavine can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He fielded his position creditably. His pickoff move is merely average. Glavine is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Glavine has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Glavine as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
I really like what this kid brings to the table.
