Pol Clasen
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. He walks too many hitters and throws too many pitches. But Clasen, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
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. Clasen doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. Clasen is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Clasen has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Clasen as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Clasen.
