Jin HoCho  
Starting Pitcher | Boston Red Sox

Pitching
HoCho performs extremely well in the late innings, but unfortunately his endurance prevents him from getting there very often. HoCho is a control pitcher; when he's on he has pinpoint control. The bottom also falls out of his very good changeup. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He shows a good pickoff move and never lets runners detract from his pitching. HoCho expects to be an active participant in the infield defense and does a good job of getting to grounders back up the middle. HoCho is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but HoCho has some pop in his swing.
