Mudcat Jager
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Jager 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. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He's average in terms of controlling the running game. Jager seems distracted after his delivery. He's sometimes out of position, fails to cover a base or doesn't back up throws. Jager is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Jager has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Jager as a pinch-runner on occasion.
