Freedy Casso
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Casso 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. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him.
Defense & Hitting Teams run on him more than they do most lefthanders. Casso's follow-through leaves him in a vulnerable position, so he has trouble with comebackers. Casso is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Casso has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Casso as a pinch-runner on occasion.
