Vern Schumpert
Starting 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. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
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. His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on. Schumpert is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Schumpert has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Schumpert as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Schumpert.
