Buck Chadek
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He attacks lefties and righties with similar success. Chadek struggles on the road.
Defense & Hitting 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. He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Chadek is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Chadek has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Chadek as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook One has to wonder what Buck Chadek is doing in AA. In all honesty, he could use a lot of work on the fundamentals in the low minors. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Chadek.
