John Sutherland  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
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. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Sutherland, and that's saying a lot. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Sutherland is nothing special in the field. His move to first base continues to be erratic, resulting in poor throws at times. Sutherland is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Sutherland has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Sutherland to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Sutherland.
