Chrisen Plessinger
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. Though Plessinger can't just blow the ball by hitters, he has some giddyup on his fastball. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! If you're going in to face Plessinger, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting 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. He doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. Plessinger is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Plessinger has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Plessinger as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook Plessinger flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down promptly. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Plessinger.
