Cooney Brenzel
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Brenzel can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Brenzel also has a decent changeup. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him.
Defense & Hitting He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. Brenzel is nothing special in the field. Brenzel is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Brenzel has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Brenzel as a pinch-runner on occasion.
