Ellis Nale  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Nale 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. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Nale is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Nale has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Nale as a pinch-runner on occasion.
