Gil Meche  
Starting Pitcher | Sacramento Knights

Pitching
Meche is a control pitcher; when he's on he has pinpoint control. He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Meche also has a decent changeup. He attacks lefties and righties the same way.

Defense & Hitting
Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. 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. Meche is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Meche has some pop in his swing.
