Frank Levien
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. If you're going in to face Levien, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Levien, and that's saying a lot. 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, Levien's curveball tends to hang. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Levien does a very poor job of holding baserunners because of his deliberate move to home plate. Levien is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Levien has some pop in his swing.
2025 Outlook What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Levien to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Levien.
