Chris Spracklen
Relief Pitcher | St Paul Pride
Pitching He's unflappable on the mound, possessing the confidence to throw any of his offerings at any time in the count. He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. Spracklen's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. Spracklen also has a decent changeup. The St Paul Pride hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. He traditionally fares better against lefties.
Defense & Hitting Spracklen is nothing special in the field. Spracklen would seem to be an easy target for basestealers as he has a pedestrian pickoff move. But teams rarely try to run on him, perhaps because his pitches get to the plate quickly. Spracklen is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Spracklen has some pop in his swing.
