Jimmy Irwin  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He's trying to develop a sinker, but as of yet it's been well below par. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is only fair. Irwin is agile on the mound, though he makes needless errors when his concentration wanders. Irwin is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Irwin has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Irwin as a pinch-runner on occasion.
