Scott Ruffcorn
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents
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 Ruffcorn, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is only fair. 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. Ruffcorn is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Ruffcorn has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Ruffcorn as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2010 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Ruffcorn.
