Bruce Lovenguth
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. The bottom also falls out of his very good changeup. Because he can't overpower hitters, Lovenguth has to fool them instead. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is merely average. 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. Lovenguth is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Lovenguth has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Lovenguth as a pinch-runner on occasion.
