Darren Hooke  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
The Free Agents 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. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. 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
He has quick feet and can catch runners napping at first or second base. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Hooke is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hooke has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
The Free Agents signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Hooke like a hot potato if something better comes along. It's really a shame he hasn't caught on somewhere. He might be a decent addition to someone's bench.
