Bill Zisk  
Starting Pitcher | Kansas City Lords

Pitching
Zisk's bread-and-butter pitch is a hard, two-seam fastball that rides in on righthanders' fists. Zisk has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. The Kansas City Lords hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. Lefthanders continue to be a problem for Zisk because he throws most of his pitches at the same speed.

Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Zisk is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Zisk has some pop in his swing.

2010 Outlook
If Zisk doesn't perform, the Kansas City Lords won't hesitate to send him down to the minors. I just don't know if The Kansas City Lords are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
