Javier Deleon
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching 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. Deleon also has a decent changeup. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. Deleon doesn't field his position well. Deleon is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Deleon has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Deleon as a pinch-runner on occasion.
