Larry Helfrich  
Starting Pitcher | Chicago White Sox

Pitching
He's a finesse pitcher, relying on movement and location. Helfrich also has a decent changeup. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Helfrich is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Helfrich has some pop in his swing.
