Lance Painter  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He's a finesse pitcher, relying on movement and location. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Painter also has a decent changeup. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

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