Ben Hafner  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Hafner can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him.

Defense & Hitting
Hafner does an average job of holding runners. Hafner is nothing special in the field.
