Jose Abbott
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting Abbott's move to first base is average. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Abbott is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Abbott has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Abbott as a pinch-runner on occasion.
