Harry Batton  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Batton also has a solid changeup that he'll use at any point in the count. Batton can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Batton is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Batton has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Batton as a pinch-runner on occasion.
