Dennis Patterson  
Starting Pitcher | St. Louis Cardinals

Pitching
Patterson also has a decent changeup. Because he can't overpower hitters, Patterson has to fool them instead. Dating back to his days in the minors, Patterson has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Patterson's move to first base is average. Patterson seems distracted after his delivery. He's sometimes out of position, fails to cover a base or doesn't back up throws. Patterson is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Patterson has some pop in his swing.
