Jose Alberro
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He is adept at coaxing groundballs with his sinking fastball and plunging curveball, so hitters try to force him to elevate his deliveries and hope that they'll catch too much of the strike zone. Alberro can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He shows a good pickoff move and never lets runners detract from his pitching. Alberro is nothing special in the field. Alberro is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Alberro has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Alberro as a pinch-runner on occasion.
