Ralean Planas  
Starting Pitcher | Seattle Mariners

Pitching
He's a finesse pitcher, relying on movement and location. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Planas gives up his share of home runs, but is always around the plate and doesn't give up many walks. But Planas, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He has quick feet and can catch runners napping at first or second base. 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. Planas is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Planas has some pop in his swing.
