Tim Cole
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Cole also has a decent changeup. 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. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties. It's hard to explain but Tim Cole plays much better on the road then he does at home.
Defense & Hitting For a lefty, his move to first base is average at best, and he has a tendency to forget about runners at second, thereby creating opportunities to swipe third. Cole is nothing special in the field. Cole is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Cole has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Cole as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
