Dickey Kerr  
Starting Pitcher | Chicago White Sox

Pitching
Kerr can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.

Defense & Hitting
He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Kerr is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Kerr has some pop in his swing.
