Antwuin Dziedzic
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Dziedzic also throws a screwball. Let's just say he's screwy on the field and off... so watch out for that devastating screwball! He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. Though Dziedzic can't just blow the ball by hitters, he has some giddyup on his fastball. 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. Because he can't overpower hitters, Dziedzic has to fool them instead. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.
Defense & Hitting He doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. A shaky fielder, he's slow to react to grounders and often looks unsure on his throws to the bases. Dziedzic is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Dziedzic has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Dziedzic as a pinch-runner on occasion.
