Doug Gagnon  
Starting Pitcher | Pittsburgh Pirates

Pitching
He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. Gagnon's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. Gagnon has been regarded as a poor fielder throughout his career, and last year was no different. Gagnon is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Gagnon has some pop in his swing.
