Dellon Lachey
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. The Retired or Inactive Players 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 the same way.
Defense & Hitting For a lefty, his move to first base is average at best, and he has a tendency to forget about runners at second, thereby creating opportunities to swipe third. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Lachey is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Lachey has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Lachey as a pinch-runner on occasion.
