Steve Falteisek  
Starting Pitcher | Chicago White Sox

Pitching
He's a finesse pitcher, relying on movement and location. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. 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. Falteisek is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Falteisek has some pop in his swing.
