Buddy Corcoran
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. 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. Corcoran is a flyball pitcher, which can get him in trouble. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.
Defense & Hitting He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. Corcoran is nothing special in the field. Corcoran is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Corcoran has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Corcoran as a pinch-runner on occasion.
