Grant Hoerst  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He's a pretty good ground-ball pitcher, which I like because ground balls stay in the park. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. The Retired or Inactive Players hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. 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 merely average. Hoerst is nothing special in the field. Hoerst is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hoerst has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Hoerst as a pinch-runner on occasion.
