Hunky Prohaska
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. Prohaska has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. Prohaska's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! In his first taste of the majors, he has kept righthanders in check but wasn't as effective against lefties.
Defense & Hitting Prohaska's move to first base is average. 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. Prohaska is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Prohaska has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Prohaska as a pinch-runner on occasion.
