Daylon Zipperer
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. His pitches lose some movement when he pitches from the stretch position. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! This man owns lefties. Put it this way, if your lineup is full of them, you might want rethink your lineup.
Defense & Hitting He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Zipperer is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Zipperer has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Zipperer as a pinch-runner on occasion.
