Joe Zug  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
The Free Agents hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Zug does an average job of holding runners. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Zug is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Zug has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Zug to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Zug.
