Peter Knapp
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching Knapp has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. 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. His pitches lose some movement when he pitches from the stretch position. Bad knuckle-balls mean lots of runs. I know it's a hook to keep his arsenal fresh, but come on.. Peter, time to let this pitch go. Dating back to his days in the minors, Knapp has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders.
Defense & Hitting Knapp has one of the better pickoff moves among big league righthanders. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Knapp is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Knapp has some pop in his swing.
2025 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Knapp.
