Donnie OBbert  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He is adept at coaxing groundballs with his sinking fastball and plunging curveball, so hitters try to force him to elevate his deliveries and hope that they'll catch too much of the strike zone. 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. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. OBbert is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but OBbert has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use OBbert as a pinch-runner on occasion.
