Jim Tolleson
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. Tolleson has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. If you're going in to face Tolleson, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Tolleson, and that's saying a lot. Tolleson has no endurance. He's good for an inning an outing, tops. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties. Tolleson struggles on the road.
Defense & Hitting Tolleson seems distracted after his delivery. He's sometimes out of position, fails to cover a base or doesn't back up throws. He has a poor pickoff move and a slow delivery, so basestealers can run at will. Tolleson is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Tolleson has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Tolleson as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Tolleson.
