Mark Gubicza  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Gubicza can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Gubicza is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Gubicza has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Gubicza as a pinch-runner on occasion.
