Catfish Ale  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Ale also has a decent changeup. Because he can't overpower hitters, Ale has to fool them instead. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.

Defense & Hitting
He fields both bunts and slow groundballs in front of the plate equally well. Ale does an average job of holding runners. Ale is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Ale has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Ale as a pinch-runner on occasion.
