Stephen Hughes  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. The Free Agents hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
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. Hughes does a very poor job of holding baserunners because of his deliberate move to home plate. Hughes is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hughes has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Hughes to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Hughes.
