John Bautista  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. 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. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success. Bautista struggles on the road.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. Bautista is nothing special in the field. Bautista is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Bautista has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Bautista as a pinch-runner on occasion.
