Tug McGraw |
20 |
391 |
He's a finesse pitcher, relying on movement and location. He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. McGraw has one of the better pickoff moves among big league righthanders. |

Henry Tudor |
20 |
340 |
Tudor does a great job of thwarting runners with varied pickoff moves and a quick release to home. |

His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. A quick pickoff move and a slide step prevent runners from stealing bases. |

He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. He has a very good move to first base and is solid at controlling the running game. |

Wynn is one of the fastest players in the game and the majority of his stolen bases are the result of his pure speed. He also can take an extra base as well as anyone. |
