Carlin Hammers
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching If you're going in to face Hammers, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. The one thing I must say I don't like about Hammers is how easily rattled he gets. If he makes a mistake to a hitter and the guy winds up on second or third, you can pretty much count on the guy scoring. But Hammers, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him.
Defense & Hitting He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. He doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. Hammers is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hammers has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Hammers as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Hammers.
