Willis Treglia
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. Treglia can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. 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! Bad knuckle-balls mean lots of runs. I know it's a hook to keep his arsenal fresh, but come on.. Willis, time to let this pitch go. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is merely average. He hurts himself by falling awkwardly off the mound in his follow-through, which allows too many balls to go through the middle for base hits. Treglia is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Treglia has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Treglia as a pinch-runner on occasion.
