John Panopoulos  
Starting Pitcher | St Paul Pride

Pitching
Panopoulos 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. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He is an extreme flyball pitcher and gives up more than his share of doubles and home runs. 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. Panopoulos is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Panopoulos has some pop in his swing.
