Marty Washington
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. 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 Washington, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. Washington has no endurance. He's good for an inning an outing, tops. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. He has a poor pickoff move and a slow delivery, so basestealers can run at will. Washington is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Washington has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Washington as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook Washington was a rule-five pickup for the Retired or Inactive Players last year. I think The Retired or Inactive Players just didn't want to be left out of the Rule-V draft, why else would you sign Washington? But if you ask me, I'll pass on Washington.
