Bumpus Hoard  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. The Retired or Inactive Players hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Hoard doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. A shaky fielder, he's slow to react to grounders and often looks unsure on his throws to the bases. Hoard is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hoard has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Hoard as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
Hoard flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down promptly. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Hoard.
