Pete Douglas
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Douglas can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Douglas also has a decent changeup. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
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. Douglas is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Douglas has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Douglas as a pinch-runner on occasion.
