Eppa Armelin
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Armelin likes to get hitters looking down and away, then ties them up by coming inside with hard stuff, getting a lot of groundball outs. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is only fair. Armelin is nothing special in the field. Armelin is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Armelin has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Armelin as a pinch-runner on occasion.
