Cory Clair  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He is adept at coaxing groundballs with his sinking fastball and plunging curveball, so hitters try to force him to elevate his deliveries and hope that they'll catch too much of the strike zone. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. 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 pitches lose some movement when he pitches from the stretch position. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. Clair is nothing special in the field. Clair is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Clair has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Clair as a pinch-runner on occasion.
