Chris Nabholz
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! If you're going in to face Nabholz, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. Never a hard thrower, Nabholz now has games when he can't hit 85 MPH with his fastball. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He traditionally fares better against lefties.
Defense & Hitting For a lefty, his move to first base is average at best, and he has a tendency to forget about runners at second, thereby creating opportunities to swipe third. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Nabholz is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Nabholz has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Nabholz as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2010 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Nabholz.
