Jeff McCurry
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching The Free Agents hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than McCurry, and that's saying a lot. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. But McCurry, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He has a very good move to first base and is solid at controlling the running game. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. McCurry is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but McCurry has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use McCurry as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2010 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on McCurry.
