Defense.. Ability to pounce off the mound like a cat

On field demeanor.... See Al Hrabosky

Best Pitch...Knuckle ball, little wear on arm.

Best training technique....Steve Carlton would put his arm in barrels of rice and move it around in circles for long periods of time.

Leg Kick....High like Juan Marichal.

Quick worker.....Makes the game shorter and not so drawn out.

Only has three fingers....See Moredecai Brown

Coke Bottled Glasses...Nothing more intimidating to a batter than a pitcher who cant see .

Contract Demands...Anything the Reds will pay him.

Body Type: Lanky- I think this is more because I like a sidearm guy, and a tall, lanky guy is better for this

Height: Tall

Delivery: Left- love a dominant lefty

Typical arm position: Side arm -Think Eckersley, I love Submarine style

Motion: Deceptive it goes with being a sidearm guy, changing up in release points help you to be dominant

Best Pitch: Sinker- I'm thinking a rising sinker, the natural motion of the underhand delivery makes the ball rise as its approaching the plate, and then a nasty drop-off the table at the plate, now that would just be unhittable.

2nd Best Pitch: Fastball- an important thing for sure

Secondary Atributes: Good glove (ie defense)- I like this for two reasons, you cant get enough defense and saving some balls that would otherwise be up the middle is a plus, but I also like this quality because better reaction time means you are less prone to getting hit by a liner at you

Hair: Rockstar- Something that says- bada$$- and I dont care I will hurt you

Mindset: Fierce Competitor- someone that scares the pants off you, say what you will about throwing at guys, but I love pitchers who are an itimidating force on the mound, someone with the presence and personality of "Wild Thang" from Major League, a mix of John Rocker (without offending millions), and Eckersley, Nolan Ryan, and Randy Johnson.

Yum, the Submarine delivery with a straight nasty sinker... delish.

This pitcher would also need to sport some Horn Rims ala Wild Thing Vaughn.
