Marek Legge
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. Legge has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. Legge's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. Legge also throws a screwball. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.
Defense & Hitting With a decent slide step and his constant attention to the running game, Legge limits the damage done by basestealers. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Legge is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Legge has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Legge as a pinch-runner on occasion.
