Alfonso Cole   Starting Pitcher | Victoria Islanders Pitching I love Cole's sinker. This thing plummets like a rock at 59 feet. He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. The Victoria Islanders 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 He shows a good pickoff move and never lets runners detract from his pitching. He fields both bunts and slow groundballs in front of the plate equally well. Cole is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Cole has some pop in his swing.           -- Moostard Nyman
