Wimpy Pladson   Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players Pitching He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Pladson also has a decent changeup. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders. Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is merely average. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Pladson is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Pladson has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Pladson as a pinch-runner on occasion.           -- Moostard Nyman
