Marcus Kean
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. 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. 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 Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Kean is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Kean 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 Kean 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.
