John Sabo   Relief Pitcher | Free Agents Pitching He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. The Free Agents 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 can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties. Defense & Hitting His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on. Sabo seems distracted after his delivery. He's sometimes out of position, fails to cover a base or doesn't back up throws. Sabo is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Sabo has some pop in his swing. 2025 Outlook What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Sabo to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Sabo.           -- Moostard Nyman
