Shayne Bechtel   Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players Pitching He's a finesse pitcher, relying on movement and location. Bechtel has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. But Bechtel, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties. Defense & Hitting He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Bechtel is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Bechtel has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Bechtel as a pinch-runner on occasion.           -- Moostard Nyman
