Burt Gazaway
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Gazaway can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Gazaway also has a decent changeup. His composure needs work. When Gazaway starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is only fair. Gazaway has been regarded as a poor fielder throughout his career, and last year was no different. Gazaway is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Gazaway has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Gazaway as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook One has to wonder what Burt Gazaway 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 Gazaway.
