Ross Becker  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
God, who doesn't love a knuckler? I saw a slow-motion version of one of his pitches on TV, it's no wonder they're unhittable! 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. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders. It's hard to explain but Ross Becker plays much better on the road then he does at home.

Defense & Hitting
Becker uses a slide step to keep runners close. Becker is nothing special in the field. Becker is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Becker has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Becker as a pinch-runner on occasion.
