Turk Casso
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average reliever. Casso has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. He walks too many hitters and throws too many pitches. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Casso, and that's saying a lot. In his first taste of the majors, he has kept righthanders in check but wasn't as effective against lefties.
Defense & Hitting His slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Casso helps himself by holding runners with throws to first, and with slide steps and varied deliveries to home. Casso seems distracted after his delivery. He's sometimes out of position, fails to cover a base or doesn't back up throws. 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.
2025 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Casso.
