Dmarco Lamour
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Lamour's control is among the best in the game. Lamour gives up his share of home runs, but is always around the plate and doesn't give up many walks. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. 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. Lamour is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Lamour has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Lamour as a pinch-runner on occasion.
