Slaten Figuerda  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. Figuerda has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He's trying to develop a sinker, but as of yet it's been well below par. Dating back to his days in the minors, Figuerda has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Figuerda doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. He's slow to get off the mound to field his position, especially to the third-base side. Figuerda is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Figuerda has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Figuerda as a pinch-runner on occasion.
