Josejuan Rude  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! Rude is a flyball pitcher, which can get him in trouble. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. 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. Rude is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Rude has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Rude as a pinch-runner on occasion.
