Chris Grossen   Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players Pitching Grossen has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. If you're going in to face Grossen, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He's trying to develop a sinker, but as of yet it's been well below par. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties. Defense & Hitting Grossen is nothing special in the field. He doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. Grossen is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Grossen has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Grossen as a pinch-runner on occasion. 2025 Outlook If Grossen 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.           -- Moostard Nyman
