Giff Urquidi
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching If you're going in to face Urquidi, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Urquidi, and that's saying a lot. Urquidi has no endurance. He's good for an inning an outing, tops. 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, Urquidi's curveball tends to hang. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting Urquidi doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. A shaky fielder, he's slow to react to grounders and often looks unsure on his throws to the bases. Urquidi is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Urquidi has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Urquidi as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Urquidi.
