Reggie Rivera  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Rivera performs extremely well in the late innings, but unfortunately his endurance prevents him from getting there very often. Rivera 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. Rivera also has a decent changeup. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He has quick feet and can catch runners napping at first or second base. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Rivera is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Rivera has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Rivera as a pinch-runner on occasion.
