Nick Brightful  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
Brightful also has a decent changeup. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. If you're going in to face Brightful, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Brightful does an average job of holding runners. 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. Brightful is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Brightful has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Brightful to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Brightful.
