Darwyn Minnema  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Minnema 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. This man owns lefties. Put it this way, if your lineup is full of them, you might want rethink your lineup.

Defense & Hitting
He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. Minnema is nothing special in the field. Minnema is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Minnema has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Minnema as a pinch-runner on occasion.
