Saias Paparello
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Paparello 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. Paparello also has a decent changeup. He attacks lefties and righties the same way.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is merely average. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Paparello is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Paparello has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Paparello as a pinch-runner on occasion.
