Shawn Blair  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He is adept at coaxing groundballs with his sinking fastball and plunging curveball, so hitters try to force him to elevate his deliveries and hope that they'll catch too much of the strike zone. Blair also has a decent changeup. He walks too many hitters and throws too many pitches. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He traditionally fares better against lefties.

Defense & Hitting
He's a good athlete and moves around well, fielding his position with Gold Glove potential. His pickoff move is merely average. Blair is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Blair has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
I can't say I know what The Free Agents were doing locking this guy up to a long term contract. A questionable call at best. I just don't know if The Free Agents are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
