Bradly Parkman
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Parkman can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His composure needs work. When Parkman starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders. He struggles away from home.
Defense & Hitting He's average in terms of controlling the running game. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Parkman is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Parkman has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Parkman as a pinch-runner on occasion.
