Eric Ludwick  
Starting Pitcher | Anaheim Angels

Pitching
Ludwick can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Ludwick also has a decent changeup. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He attacks lefties and righties the same way.

Defense & Hitting
He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. Ludwick is agile on the mound, though he makes needless errors when his concentration wanders. Ludwick is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Ludwick has some pop in his swing.
