Elisyo Appleyard  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Appleyard can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! 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, Appleyard's curveball tends to hang. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him. It's hard to explain but Elisyo Appleyard plays much better on the road then he does at home.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. Appleyard seems distracted after his delivery. He's sometimes out of position, fails to cover a base or doesn't back up throws. Appleyard is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Appleyard has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Appleyard as a pinch-runner on occasion.
