Bernell Leibman
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. Leibman can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Leibman's curveball tends to hang. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting Leibman does an average job of holding runners. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Leibman is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Leibman has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Leibman as a pinch-runner on occasion.
