Mort Bittick
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He keeps his pitches low in the strike zone and throws a heavy ball. 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. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Bittick, and that's saying a lot. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.
Defense & Hitting He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Bittick doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. Bittick is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Bittick has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Bittick as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook Bittick flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down promptly. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Bittick.
