WarEagle Minderman
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Minderman 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. 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. Dating back to his days in the minors, Minderman has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders.
Defense & Hitting He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. Minderman is nothing special in the field. Minderman is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Minderman has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Minderman as a pinch-runner on occasion.
