Allen Putnam  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Putnam also throws a screwball. Let's just say he's screwy on the field and off... so watch out for that devastating screwball! He has the ability to coax groundballs, which helps him succeed. Putnam 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 attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. Putnam is agile on the mound, though he makes needless errors when his concentration wanders. Putnam is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Putnam has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Putnam as a pinch-runner on occasion.
