BOS Bob Turley  
Starting Pitcher | Boston Red Sox

Pitching
He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. Turley's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. The Boston Red Sox 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 attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Turley is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Turley has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Boston Red Sox have been known to use Turley as a pinch-runner on occasion.
