Maxime Essary
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching 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. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He traditionally fares better against lefties.
Defense & Hitting He's a good athlete and moves around well, fielding his position with Gold Glove potential. Essary doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. Essary is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Essary has some pop in his swing.
2025 Outlook What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Essary to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Essary.
