Todd Stottlemyre  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Stottlemyre can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Stottlemyre's follow-through leaves him in a vulnerable position, so he has trouble with comebackers. Stottlemyre is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Stottlemyre has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Stottlemyre as a pinch-runner on occasion.
