Xavier Sanders  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Sanders also has a decent changeup. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

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. Sanders is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Sanders has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Sanders as a pinch-runner on occasion.
