Simon Thau  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. Thau's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. If you're going in to face Thau, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. Thau is a flyball pitcher susceptible to the home run. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Thau would seem to be an easy target for basestealers as he has a pedestrian pickoff move. But teams rarely try to run on him, perhaps because his pitches get to the plate quickly. Thau's follow-through leaves him in a vulnerable position, so he has trouble with comebackers. Thau is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Thau has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
I can't say I know what The Free Agents were doing locking this guy up to a long term contract. A questionable call at best. I just don't know if The Free Agents are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
