Bamion Haney
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Haney also has a decent changeup. Haney has had a tendency to fall victim to big innings. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Haney is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Haney has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Haney as a pinch-runner on occasion.
