Dan Bash
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 walks too many hitters and throws too many pitches. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.
Defense & Hitting 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. He doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. Bash is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Bash has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Bash as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook Bash flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down promptly. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Bash.
