Dan Shapiro  
Starting Pitcher | Milwaukee Brewers

Pitching
His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. Shapiro can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Shapiro also has a decent changeup. This man owns lefties. Put it this way, if your lineup is full of them, you might want rethink your lineup.

Defense & Hitting
A decent fielder, Shapiro is quick around the mound and has good instincts. He's average in terms of controlling the running game. Shapiro is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Shapiro has some pop in his swing.
