Saiujjwal Penalver
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Penalver can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. 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 attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting Penalver does an average job of holding runners. Penalver seems distracted after his delivery. He's sometimes out of position, fails to cover a base or doesn't back up throws. Penalver is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Penalver has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Penalver as a pinch-runner on occasion.
