Hablo Torrez
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Torrez 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. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. But Torrez, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. 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. Torrez is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Torrez has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Torrez as a pinch-runner on occasion.
