Mike Heffner   Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players Pitching Heffner 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 Heffner, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. Heffner has had a tendency to fall victim to big innings. But Heffner, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. Dating back to his days in the minors, Heffner has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders. Defense & Hitting 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. His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on. Heffner is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Heffner has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Heffner as a pinch-runner on occasion. 2025 Outlook Heffner was a rule-five pickup for the Retired or Inactive Players last year. I think The Retired or Inactive Players just didn't want to be left out of the Rule-V draft, why else would you sign Heffner? But if you ask me, I'll pass on Heffner.           -- Moostard Nyman
