Joseph Bighook  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average reliever. Bighook has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.

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