Tige Grohmann
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Grohmann 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. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting Grohmann's move to first base is average. Grohmann is agile on the mound, though he makes needless errors when his concentration wanders. Grohmann is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Grohmann has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Grohmann as a pinch-runner on occasion.
