Jacob Batzer  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Batzer has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. Batzer also has a decent changeup. He walks too many hitters and throws too many pitches. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. Batzer is nothing special in the field. Batzer is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Batzer has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Batzer as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
But if you ask me, I'll pass on Batzer.
