Darren Tatum  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
I've seen Tatum work himself into a jam on occassion. The good thing about him is that he knows how to work himself out of them. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. Tatum also has a decent changeup. In his first taste of the majors, he has kept lefthanders in check but wasn't as effective against righties.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is only fair. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately.
