Dana Lamarre
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Now he's the consumate ground-ball pitcher, which I love: ground balls never leave the stadium. Lamarre also has a decent changeup. 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. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.
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. Lamarre is nothing special in the field. Lamarre is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Lamarre has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Lamarre as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook Lamarre isn't cutting the mustard in the low minors. It's time for Dana to investigate other career options, like coaching highschool ball. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Lamarre.
