Andrew Lazorko
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Lazorko is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Lazorko has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Lazorko as a pinch-runner on occasion.
