Tandre Thorndyke  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! If you're going in to face Thorndyke, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Thorndyke's curveball tends to hang. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Thorndyke's follow-through leaves him in a vulnerable position, so he has trouble with comebackers. Thorndyke is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Thorndyke has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Thorndyke as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
AA isn't the right place for Thorndyke. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down for some minor retooling. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
