Asmar Coleburn
Relief 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. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. His composure needs work. When Coleburn starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He's average in terms of controlling the running game. Coleburn is nothing special in the field. Coleburn is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Coleburn has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Coleburn as a pinch-runner on occasion.
