Boots Azevedo   Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players Pitching He isn't that tough to hit, but it's difficult to get good loft on his pitches and he seldom gives up the longball. Azevedo's control is among the best in the game. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. His pitches lose some movement when he pitches from the stretch position. But Azevedo, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders. Defense & Hitting Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Azevedo is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Azevedo has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Azevedo as a pinch-runner on occasion.           -- Moostard Nyman
