Rod Almonte  
Relief Pitcher | West Bay Red Skulls

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.

Defense & Hitting
Almonte remains one of the best fielding pitchers in the game's history. He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. Almonte is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Almonte has some pop in his swing.
