Joseph Mudrock  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. Mudrock 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. Mudrock also has a decent changeup. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Mudrock's curveball tends to hang. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is only fair. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Mudrock is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Mudrock has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Mudrock as a pinch-runner on occasion.
