Tellis Spirko   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. Spirko'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! He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him. Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is only fair. Spirko is nothing special in the field. Spirko is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Spirko has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Spirko as a pinch-runner on occasion.           -- Moostard Nyman
