Mario Karchner  
Starting Pitcher | Creston Kokanee

Pitching
Karchner 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. Karchner also throws a screwball. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. 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. Karchner is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Karchner has some pop in his swing.
