Tom West  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
West also has a decent changeup. The Retired or Inactive Players hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him.

Defense & Hitting
Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. West is nothing special in the field. West is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but West has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use West as a pinch-runner on occasion.
