Milford Spease  
Starting Pitcher | Idaho Sporks

Pitching
Spease is a control pitcher; when he's on he has pinpoint control. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Spease's curveball tends to hang. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He shows a good pickoff move and never lets runners detract from his pitching. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Spease is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Spease has some pop in his swing.

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