Andrew Lorraine  
Relief Pitcher | Houston Astros

Pitching
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 attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
A fluid delivery leaves him in good shape for fielding, and he has a reputation as a competent defender. Lorraine does an average job of holding runners. Lorraine is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Lorraine has some pop in his swing.
