David Ashworth
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching The Free Agents hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Ashworth, and that's saying a lot. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting Ashworth doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. Ashworth seems distracted after his delivery. He's sometimes out of position, fails to cover a base or doesn't back up throws. Ashworth is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Ashworth has some pop in his swing.
2025 Outlook What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Ashworth to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Ashworth.
