Ash Mehrtens
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching If you're going in to face Mehrtens, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Mehrtens, and that's saying a lot. But Mehrtens, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting 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. Mehrtens has a lousy move to first, and opposing managers will run against him all day. Mehrtens is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Mehrtens has some pop in his swing.
2025 Outlook What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Mehrtens to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Mehrtens.
