Jul Boeh
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Boeh is a control pitcher; when he's on he has pinpoint control. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Boeh's curveball tends to hang. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is only fair. He hurts himself by falling awkwardly off the mound in his follow-through, which allows too many balls to go through the middle for base hits. Boeh is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Boeh has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Boeh as a pinch-runner on occasion.
