Daniel Madigan
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Madigan's endurance makes him well suited to long relief. Madigan has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He walks too many hitters and throws too many pitches. Dating back to his days in the minors, Madigan has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders.
Defense & Hitting Madigan does an average job of holding runners. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Madigan is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Madigan has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Madigan as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook Madigan has below average skills, even for the low minors. One has to expect the Retired or Inactive Players will give him his walking papers before the end of the season. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
