Biggs Kessler  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His move to first isn't very good, but his delivery is fairly quick and he isn't overly vulnerable to the stolen base. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Kessler is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Kessler has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Kessler as a pinch-runner on occasion.
