JC Counsell  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
Counsell can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His pitches lose some movement when he pitches from the stretch position. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Counsell does an average job of holding runners. 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. Counsell is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Counsell has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
I just don't know if The Free Agents are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
