Charles Nagy
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Nagy can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Nagy also has a decent changeup. Because he can't overpower hitters, Nagy has to fool them instead. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.
Defense & Hitting His slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Nagy helps himself by holding runners with throws to first, and with slide steps and varied deliveries to home. 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. Nagy is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Nagy has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Nagy as a pinch-runner on occasion.
