Mark Grapp  
Relief Pitcher | Creston Kokanee

Pitching
Grapp is a control pitcher; when he's on he has pinpoint control. He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. Grapp also has a solid changeup that he'll use at any point in the count. His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. Grapp has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. Dating back to his days in the minors, Grapp has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders. It's hard to explain but Mark Grapp plays much better on the road then he does at home.

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. Grapp is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Grapp has some pop in his swing.
