Riki Bradford
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching Bradford also has a decent changeup. The Free Agents 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 can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. In his first taste of the majors, he has kept righthanders in check but wasn't as effective against lefties.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is only fair. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Bradford is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Bradford has some pop in his swing.
2025 Outlook What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Bradford to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Bradford.
