Fred Bonds  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. 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 lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Bonds is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Bonds has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Bonds as a pinch-runner on occasion.
