Jimmy Tarantino
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Tarantino also throws a screwball. If you're going in to face Tarantino, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Tarantino, and that's saying a lot. This man owns lefties. Put it this way, if your lineup is full of them, you might want rethink your lineup.
Defense & Hitting His slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Tarantino helps himself by holding runners with throws to first, and with slide steps and varied deliveries to home. Tarantino's follow-through leaves him in a vulnerable position, so he has trouble with comebackers. Tarantino is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Tarantino has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Tarantino as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Tarantino.
