Hilton Newcastle@
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Newcastle also has a decent changeup. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.
Defense & Hitting He has a very good move to first base and is solid at controlling the running game. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Newcastle is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Newcastle has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Newcastle as a pinch-runner on occasion.
