Paul Manis  
Starting Pitcher | Fort Mac Roughnecks

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Manis also has a solid changeup that he'll use at any point in the count. Manis throws a nice sinker... The rookies never seem to know when it's coming. Manis can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Manis has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. Dating back to his days in the minors, Manis has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He shows a good pickoff move and never lets runners detract from his pitching. 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. Manis is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Manis has some pop in his swing.
