Darkell Bassette  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. His composure needs work. When Bassette starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He's trying to develop a sinker, but as of yet it's been well below par. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.

Defense & Hitting
He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. Bassette is nothing special in the field. Bassette is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Bassette has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Bassette as a pinch-runner on occasion.
