Thomas Two-Bears  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. Two-Bears can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball is just average, and therefore he relies heavily on placing it in different parts of the strike zone or setting it up with his curveball. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! 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 tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Two-Bears is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Two-Bears has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Two-Bears as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2014 Outlook
I really like what this kid brings to the table.
