Doc Bucha   Starting Pitcher | Creston Kokanee Pitching He has the ability to coax groundballs, which helps him succeed. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. His changeup isn't bad... he fools his share of hitters. His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average starter. Bucha can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Bucha, and that's saying a lot. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him. 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. Bucha is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Bucha has some pop in his swing.           -- Moostard Nyman
