Blaine Soreson  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is only fair. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Soreson is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Soreson has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
It's really a shame he hasn't caught on somewhere. He might be a decent addition to someone's bench.
