Phil Boisclair
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He keeps his pitches low in the strike zone and throws a heavy ball. Boisclair can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Boisclair is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Boisclair has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Boisclair as a pinch-runner on occasion.
