Post subject:  Kevin Quackenbush - RP - Padres (Wii)

Next on my list for the update are some Padres players not in the game. After Quackenbush I am going to do Derek Norris and Alexi Amarista, maybe some people can help me with other Padres like Robbie Erlin and Casey Kelly.
Quackenbush is a young righty reliever who was rushed into the Majors and eventually the closers role by the Padres last season, however, I doubt he'll be the closer next season. He will have low stamina either way.
Here's what I'm thinking:
TOP SPD: 94 (That's the highest I've seen him hit)
CTRL: 100-115 (Control needs some work)
STAM: 40-55 (As I said earlier, not a reliever who works over an inning)
Pitches:
CURVE: 2-3
CHG: 1-2 (I have no idea on this guy's pitches, only scouting report I could find was from Arizona Fall League in 2012)
Special Abilities:
???

Any help is necessary and greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

On top of the pitches you have; v-slider (1-2), 2sfb 1. Release 4 gd pick off. Vs LH4 you could get but his minor stats reveal a much closer split than his major league ones. I think CB should be a 2-3 the others (v-slider, change and 2sFB should be a 1).

Correction the change is a splitter

My stats:

Top Speed: 94
Ctrl: 130-140. 3.0 BB/9 rate is pretty consistent
Stam: he's averaged less than an inning, so the minimum is fine - no need to get it higher than 40

CB 2-3 is fine
CHG or SPLT 1-2
The other pitch types he threw twice or less in the whole season (??) so despite a scouting report talking about his great slider, I'm just not sure. Unless the CHG/SPLT is actually a V-SLD, that might make sense. it moves straight down, whatever it is.

RISP/4 - he's consistently stranded runners at a high rate. 79% last season. Poise 4 could also work. Dude avoids hits.
Dr K - yeah he's a candidate for it. 9.3 SO/9 in his one season so far, and three minor league stops had rates over 10/9 IP (and one of them he averaged 15 Ks per 9 IP, wow)
Vs Lefty 4 is actually okay with his splits last season, but as was mentioned, that's a tiny sample size, use with caution

Flyball Pitcher would be a good ability, only 37% GB rate

Ok, I heard that he had a splitter, but wasn't sure. I'll start him now, thanks for the help, robhallett and AOW.

Finished. Came out the way I wanted him too. Appearance wise, birthday wise and ability wise. Any help with other Padres players (Norris, Amarista, Erlin, Kelly) is greatly appreciated. Enjoy!
