Archibald Tervo
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. Tervo has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. But Tervo, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.
Defense & Hitting Tervo's move to first base is average. 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. Tervo is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Tervo has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Tervo as a pinch-runner on occasion.
