Taylor Mosolf  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. Mosolf 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
Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Mosolf is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Mosolf has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Mosolf as a pinch-runner on occasion.
