Neftaly Bankert
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. If you're going in to face Bankert, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Bankert is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Bankert has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Bankert as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook If Bankert doesn't perform, the Retired or Inactive Players won't hesitate to send him down to the minors. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
