Bernell Clopp
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. 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. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! This man owns lefties. Put it this way, if your lineup is full of them, you might want rethink your lineup.
Defense & Hitting Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. Clopp is nothing special in the field. Clopp is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Clopp has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Clopp as a pinch-runner on occasion.
