Robert Paulson
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! If you're going in to face Paulson, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting He's average in terms of controlling the running game. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Paulson is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Paulson has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Paulson as a pinch-runner on occasion.
