Stefan Campos
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Campos's endurance makes him well suited to long relief. He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. Campos has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He's trying to develop a sinker, but as of yet it's been well below par. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.
Defense & Hitting Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Campos is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Campos has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Campos as a pinch-runner on occasion.
