Ryne Biras
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Biras also throws a screwball. Let's just say he's screwy on the field and off... so watch out for that devastating screwball! 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. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is only fair. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Biras is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Biras has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Biras as a pinch-runner on occasion.
