Mark Sievert  
Starting Pitcher | Pittsburgh Pirates

Pitching
Sievert's control is among the best in the game. He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. Sievert also has a decent changeup. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

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. Sievert is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Sievert has some pop in his swing.

2010 Outlook
I really like what this guy brings to the table.
