Paul Fletcher
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching If you're going in to face Fletcher, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Fletcher, and that's saying a lot. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. But Fletcher, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Fletcher's curveball tends to hang. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting Fletcher's move to first base is average. Fletcher's follow-through leaves him in a vulnerable position, so he has trouble with comebackers. Fletcher is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Fletcher has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Fletcher as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2010 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Fletcher.
