Bryce Hand
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching If you're going in to face Hand, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Hand, and that's saying a lot. When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Hand's curveball tends to hang. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting Hand seems distracted after his delivery. He's sometimes out of position, fails to cover a base or doesn't back up throws. His move to first base is slow and ineffective. Hand is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hand has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Hand as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Hand.
