Scott Gentile  
Relief Pitcher | Chicago Cubs

Pitching
When healthy, Gentile is the prototypical veteran finesse pitcher. He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. Gentile's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He attacks lefties and righties the same way.

Defense & Hitting
Gentile expects to be an active participant in the infield defense and does a good job of getting to grounders back up the middle. His pickoff move is only fair. Gentile is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Gentile has some pop in his swing.

2010 Outlook
Gentile performance in AAA is making it difficult for the Chicago Cubs to ignore him much longer. Expect his name to be on the September call-up list. I really like what this guy brings to the table.
