Kyle Abbott  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
Abbott also has a decent changeup. If you're going in to face Abbott, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Runners do not get a good jump on Abbott... many have noted that his motion is difficult to pick up. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Abbott is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Abbott has some pop in his swing.

2010 Outlook
It's really a shame he hasn't caught on somewhere. He might be a decent addition to someone's bench.
