Joey Hascall
Relief Pitcher | Regina Pirates
Pitching Hascall also has a decent changeup. His curveball is inconsistent, but when it's sharp it's a solid complement to his fastball. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting His move to first isn't very good, but his delivery is fairly quick and he isn't overly vulnerable to the stolen base. Hascall seems distracted after his delivery. He's sometimes out of position, fails to cover a base or doesn't back up throws. Hascall is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hascall has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Regina Pirates have been known to use Hascall as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook The Regina Pirates signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Hascall like a hot potato if something better comes along.
