Peter Carroll
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Carroll can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Carroll also has a decent changeup. Because he can't overpower hitters, Carroll has to fool them instead. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success. Carroll struggles on the road.
Defense & Hitting He's average in terms of controlling the running game. 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. Carroll is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Carroll has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Carroll as a pinch-runner on occasion.
