Matthew Mahoney
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He's a finesse pitcher, relying on movement and location. He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. Mahoney's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. Mahoney also has a decent changeup. Mahoney gives up his share of home runs, but is always around the plate and doesn't give up many walks. Dating back to his days in the minors, Mahoney has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders.
Defense & Hitting He fielded his position creditably. His pickoff move is merely average. Mahoney is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Mahoney has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Mahoney as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook I really like what this guy brings to the table.
