Ernan Pratcher
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Pratcher also has a decent changeup. 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's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting Pratcher is nothing special in the field. Pratcher doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. Pratcher is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Pratcher has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Pratcher as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook Pratcher 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 Pratcher.
