PedroJ Martinez
Starting Pitcher | Kansas City Lords
Pitching A groundball pitcher, Martinez needs to have sharp command to succeed. His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average starter. Martinez can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Martinez also has a decent changeup. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting Martinez's move to first base is average. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Martinez is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Martinez has some pop in his swing.
2010 Outlook I really like what this guy brings to the table.
