Rooney Juhnke
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. If you're going in to face Juhnke, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. Dating back to his days in the minors, Juhnke has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is merely average. Juhnke doesn't field his position well. Juhnke is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Juhnke has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Juhnke as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook Juhnke isn't cutting the mustard in the low minors. It's time for Rooney to investigate other career options, like coaching highschool ball. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Juhnke.
