Allie Boskie
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. Boskie 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. Boskie also has a decent changeup. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. Dating back to his days in the minors, Boskie has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders.
Defense & Hitting He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. Boskie is nothing special in the field. Boskie is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Boskie has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Boskie as a pinch-runner on occasion.
