Last batch! Thanks for including any/all of these updates into the roster set.


Dean Deetz (HOU) has been turned into a one-inning guy and has pared his repertoire down to just FB/SL. In game, he's still set up to be more starter-ish than reliever-ish.
Richard Lovelady (KC) has a FB/SL/CH repertoire where the slider is the best pitch and the changeup is the fringy pitch.
Griffin Canning (LAA) has added some velocity over the past year or so. 93-95 MPH seems closer to reality than his in game 90-92 MPH.
Gerardo Carrillo (LAD) has the phrase "heavy sink" associated with his fastball wherever I've looked. The Dodgers love them some sinkerballers lately. Carrillo is also nicknamed "The Assassin" -- Baseball America Prospect Handbook.
Zach Willeman (LAD) throws a pair of plus breaking balls, both CB and SL.
Josh Sborz (LAD) has had velocity increase to 94-96 MPH now that he's in the bullpen. Not sure he throws a CB now that he's a reliever.
Trey Supak (MIL)...I'm seeing 93-95 MPH, his velo has ticked up from the 89-91 MPH in game.
Anthony Kay (NYM)...seems to have an elite spin-rate curveball rather than a slider. Scouting reports go on and on about how his curveball is among the top rpm curves in the minors.
Daniel Zamora (NYM)...one of the more interesting pitchers in the roster. He throws a plus slider 80% of the time, and his "changeup" is actually a 88-90 MPH fastball. He's basically a 1-pitch pitcher that throws a BP fastball every once in a while. Brooks Baseball agrees with this assessment.
Domingo Acevedo (NYY)...more 95-97 MPH these days than 99-101 MPH.
Brian Howard (OAK)...scouting reports are consistent in mentioning his 2-seamer, the "sink" on his fastball, and that he gets a lot of groundball outs. Not sure if his FB should become SNK or if his pitcher type should just be changed to groundballer.
JoJo Romero (PHI)...seems to throw a SNK in addition to his other pitches.
Enyel de los Santos (PHI)...reports are that his CB is well below average.
Spencer Howard (PHI)...velocity has increased to something more like 95-97 MPH.
Starlyn Castillo (PHI)...velocity is more 94-96 MPH than 90-92 MPH.
Zach Warren (PHI)...velocity is more 93-95 MPH than 90-92 MPH.
Gage Hinsz (PIT)...consensus that his primary fastball is a SNK.
Jake Woodford (STL)...velocity is more 92-94 MPH than 90-92 MPH.
Adrian Morejon (SD)...velocity is 94-96 MPH now.
Chris Paddack (SD)..."earned the nickname 'The Executioner' at Lake Elsinore for his ruthless precision in eliminating opponents." --Baseball America Prospect Handbook.
Trey Wingenter (SD)...clearly FB/SL guy according to Brooks Baseball. 97-99 MPH on the heater.
Sean Hjelle (SF)...velocity is more 94-96 MPH than 91-93 MPH.
Tyler Beede (SF)...also throws a cutter.
Nolan Hoffman (SEA)...is a submariner. Primary pitch is SNK.
David McKay (SEA)...velocity is 94-96 MPH.
Michael Mercado (TB)...is going by "David Mercado" now.
T.J. Zeuch (TOR)...primary pitch is SNK.
Seth Romero (WAS)...velocity is more 94-96 MPH than 91-93 MPH.
