Dinty Claybourne  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He's trying to develop a sinker, but as of yet it's been well below par. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. He hurts himself by falling awkwardly off the mound in his follow-through, which allows too many balls to go through the middle for base hits. Claybourne is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Claybourne has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Claybourne as a pinch-runner on occasion.
