Cliff Politte   Starting Pitcher | Creston Kokanee Pitching He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. Politte can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Because he can't overpower hitters, Politte has to fool them instead. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success. Defense & Hitting His move to first isn't very good, but his delivery is fairly quick and he isn't overly vulnerable to the stolen base. He hurts himself by falling awkwardly off the mound in his follow-through, which allows too many balls to go through the middle for base hits. Politte is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Politte has some pop in his swing.           -- Moostard Nyman
