Footsie Egger  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Egger forces hitters to keep the ball on the ground. Egger also has a decent changeup. 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. His composure needs work. When Egger starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Egger's move to first base is average. Egger is nothing special in the field. Egger is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Egger has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Egger as a pinch-runner on occasion.
