Gordon Winsett
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Winsett also throws a screwball. Let's just say he's screwy on the field and off... so watch out for that devastating screwball! God, who doesn't love a knuckler? I saw a slow-motion version of one of his pitches on TV, it's no wonder they're unhittable! He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He shows a good pickoff move and never lets runners detract from his pitching. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Winsett is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Winsett has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Winsett as a pinch-runner on occasion.
