Cleon Folmar
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Folmar, and that's saying a lot. Lefthanders continue to be a problem for Folmar because he throws most of his pitches at the same speed.
Defense & Hitting He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on. Folmar is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Folmar has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Folmar as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook One has to wonder what Cleon Folmar is doing in AA. In all honesty, he could use a lot of work on the fundamentals in the low minors. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Folmar.
