Matthew Crain  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. The Free Agents 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. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him.

Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. Crain is agile on the mound, though he makes needless errors when his concentration wanders. Crain is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Crain has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
I just don't know if The Free Agents are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
