Wash Storie
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Storie 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. Storie also has a decent changeup. He traditionally fares better against lefties.
Defense & Hitting He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Storie is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Storie has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Storie as a pinch-runner on occasion.
