Marion Larick
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. 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. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.
Defense & Hitting Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. Larick is nothing special in the field. Larick is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Larick has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Larick as a pinch-runner on occasion.
