Hughie Laprise
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Laprise can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Laprise also has a decent changeup. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Laprise is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Laprise has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Laprise as a pinch-runner on occasion.
