Newton Ransford  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Ransford can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. 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. Ransford doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. Ransford is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Ransford has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
But if you ask me, I'll pass on Ransford.
