Scouting Report

Assets
  • Can be a great change of pace in the rotation thanks to his fluttering knuckleball; he's a master of that pitch. Can eat up innings and pitch on short rest. He's a great team player and also versatile.
Flaws
  • Now in his 40's, he's increasingly injury-prone. He's streaky: his fastball isn't quite good enough to keep batters from sitting on the knuckler, which can be extremely unpredictable. Can get run on.
Career Potential
  • Aging knuckleball specialist.
  • AwardsRoberto Clemente Man of the Year (Outstanding skills, sportsmanship and community involvement)Named to the All-Star Game
