Ira Bodkins
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! If you're going in to face Bodkins, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Bodkins, and that's saying a lot. This man owns lefties. Put it this way, if your lineup is full of them, you might want rethink your lineup.
Defense & Hitting Bodkins doesn't field his position well. He has a poor pickoff move and a slow delivery, so basestealers can run at will. Bodkins is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Bodkins has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Bodkins as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Bodkins.
