Calvin Maynard
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching The Free Agents 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. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Maynard, and that's saying a lot. Maynard has no endurance. He's good for an inning an outing, tops. In his first taste of the majors, he has kept lefthanders in check but wasn't as effective against righties.
Defense & Hitting His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on. He hurts himself by falling awkwardly off the mound in his follow-through, which allows too many balls to go through the middle for base hits. Maynard is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Maynard has some pop in his swing.
2025 Outlook What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Maynard to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Maynard.
