Jamal King is a young lefty from New York. He is somewhat confrontational, taking his big-city attitude onto the mound. His 94mph fastball and hard slider are good weapons, but his breaking pitches are still low-level and can sometimes be taken out of the park.
Description
A lefty starter for my custom team, the Charlotte Chargers. This version is a slight downgrade from last year's, and more of a true 5th starter on the bubble. He has almost no control, but okay Stamina, and decent top speed and hard slider. His breaking pitches, a slow curve and splitter, were intentionally left low-level.
King will be fighting for a starting spot with pitchers such as Scott Trzesniak, Justin Baker, and Nate Andrews. He has the edge as a lefty, and as the incumbent, but his poor control and breaking pitches may lead to wildness or high run totals, which may just bounce him into the bullpen.
