Kirk Warlow  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Warlow is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Warlow has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
It's really a shame he hasn't caught on somewhere. He might be a decent addition to someone's bench.
