Kenny Slossen
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. Slossen will give up home runs, but rarely with the game on the line. 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 frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is only fair. 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. Slossen is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Slossen has some pop in his swing.
2025 Outlook What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Slossen to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Slossen.
