Steele Dolinger
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Dolinger can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Dolinger has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. His pitches lose some movement when he pitches from the stretch position. But Dolinger, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.
Defense & Hitting He's average in terms of controlling the running game. Dolinger is nothing special in the field. Dolinger is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Dolinger has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Dolinger as a pinch-runner on occasion.
