Parke Roegner
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He's a finesse pitcher, relying on movement and location. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! 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. Roegner is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Roegner has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Roegner as a pinch-runner on occasion.
