Jack Ewoldt
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Ewoldt can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Ewoldt also has a decent changeup. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting Ewoldt does an average job of holding runners. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Ewoldt is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Ewoldt has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Ewoldt as a pinch-runner on occasion.
