Billy Percibal
Starting Pitcher | St. Louis Cardinals
Pitching He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. Percibal can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Percibal's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting Percibal has an impressive presence on the mound, always taking an aggressive posture. He has a quick pickoff move, but sometimes concentrates on pitching so much that he forgets about runners. Percibal is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Percibal has some pop in his swing.
