Rolf Hoffstetter   Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players Pitching Now he's the consumate ground-ball pitcher, which I love: ground balls never leave the stadium. Hoffstetter can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! 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. A shaky fielder, he's slow to react to grounders and often looks unsure on his throws to the bases. Hoffstetter is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hoffstetter has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Hoffstetter as a pinch-runner on occasion.           -- Emu Nyman, AA/AAA Scout
