Shervin Tragesser
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. When his release point drops below three-quarters, his fastball tends to hang in the strike zone. Tragesser also has a decent changeup. His pitches lose some movement when he pitches from the stretch position. If you're going in to face Tragesser, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. Tragesser seems distracted after his delivery. He's sometimes out of position, fails to cover a base or doesn't back up throws. Tragesser is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Tragesser has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Tragesser as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook Tragesser flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down promptly. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Tragesser.
