Reid Cornelius
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching He keeps his pitches low in the strike zone and throws a heavy ball. The Free Agents hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting He's average in terms of controlling the running game. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Cornelius is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Cornelius has some pop in his swing.
2010 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Cornelius.
