Pat Rapp
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He keeps his pitches low in the strike zone and throws a heavy ball. Rapp also has a decent changeup. The Retired or Inactive Players hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. He's trying to develop a sinker, but as of yet it's been well below par. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting Rapp's move to first base is average. Rapp is nothing special in the field. Rapp is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Rapp has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Rapp as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2010 Outlook Rapp flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down promptly. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Rapp.
