Otho Carthon
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He keeps the ball down and gets a lot of groundballs. Carthon throws a nice sinker... The rookies never seem to know when it's coming. Carthon also has a decent changeup. 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 comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.
Defense & Hitting Carthon is nothing special in the field. Carthon does a very poor job of holding baserunners because of his deliberate move to home plate. Carthon is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Carthon has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Carthon as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Carthon.
