Loren Zimmermann  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He has the ability to coax groundballs, which helps him succeed. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He attacks lefties and righties the same way.

Defense & Hitting
Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. 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. Zimmermann is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Zimmermann has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Zimmermann as a pinch-runner on occasion.
