Greg Bournigal
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Bournigal likes to get hitters looking down and away, then ties them up by coming inside with hard stuff, getting a lot of groundball outs. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. His composure needs work. When Bournigal starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. He doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. Bournigal is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Bournigal has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Bournigal as a pinch-runner on occasion.
