Ty Batsch  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. The Retired or Inactive Players 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. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. 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. Batsch is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Batsch has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Batsch as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2014 Outlook
But if you ask me, I'll pass on Batsch.
