Acton Pulfrey
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He produces tons of groundballs with his downward movement. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He walks too many hitters and throws too many pitches. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting Pulfrey does an average job of holding runners. Pulfrey seems distracted after his delivery. He's sometimes out of position, fails to cover a base or doesn't back up throws. Pulfrey is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Pulfrey has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Pulfrey as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook If Pulfrey doesn't perform, the Retired or Inactive Players won't hesitate to send him down to the minors. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
