Mike Derringer
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Derringer can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Derringer also has a decent changeup. Because he can't overpower hitters, Derringer has to fool them instead. He traditionally fares better against lefties.
Defense & Hitting He has a very good move to first base and is solid at controlling the running game. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Derringer is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Derringer has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Derringer as a pinch-runner on occasion.
