Yadiel Bina
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. The Retired or Inactive Players hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.
Defense & Hitting For a lefty, his move to first base is average at best, and he has a tendency to forget about runners at second, thereby creating opportunities to swipe third. Bina is nothing special in the field. Bina is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Bina has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Bina as a pinch-runner on occasion.
