Darius Pavek
Third Baseman | Retired or Inactive Players
Hitting One thing's for sure, late in the game you're glad you have him on the field. Pavek is an excellent mistake hitter who belts middle-of-the-plate fastballs or hanging breaking balls. One of the nice things about Darius is that he's a real clutch hitter. If it's late in the game, and there are men on base, you want this guy at the plate. He has a natural lift to his swing, which produces few groundballs. Even though you might not start him, he's not a bad guy to have on your bench for the tough left-handed reliever. Pavek uses the entire field and typically produces a couple of hitting streaks of 10 or more games during a season.
Baserunning & Defense Pavek isn't a fluid third baseman, but he's not afraid to get dirty and gets the job done. His biggest problem in the field simply has to be his throwing arm... it's well below par. He has no speed at all and runs the bases conservatively.
