Chuck Neel
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Neel also throws a screwball. If you're going in to face Neel, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. This man owns lefties. Put it this way, if your lineup is full of them, you might want rethink your lineup.
Defense & Hitting Neel's move to first base is average. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Neel is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Neel has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Neel as a pinch-runner on occasion.
