Hilario Maxon
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Maxon also has a decent changeup. The Retired or Inactive Players hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Maxon is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Maxon has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Maxon as a pinch-runner on occasion.
