Chris Begley  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. The Retired or Inactive Players 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. He traditionally fares better against lefties. It's hard to explain but Chris Begley plays much better on the road then he does at home.

Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Begley is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Begley has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Begley as a pinch-runner on occasion.
