Sammy Baumgarten  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
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 Baumgarten, and that's saying a lot. Baumgarten has no endurance. He's good for an inning an outing, tops. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success. It's hard to explain but Sammy Baumgarten plays much better on the road then he does at home.

Defense & Hitting
Baumgarten is a reliable fielder who doesn't get rattled on defensive plays and is rarely out of fielding position. His pickoff move is only fair. Baumgarten is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Baumgarten has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Baumgarten as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
Baumgarten has below average skills, even for the low minors. One has to expect the Retired or Inactive Players will give him his walking papers before the end of the season. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
