Dewitt Gierke
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. Gierke is agile on the mound, though he makes needless errors when his concentration wanders. Gierke is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Gierke has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Gierke as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook If Gierke doesn't perform, the Retired or Inactive Players won't hesitate to send him down to the minors. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
