Charlie Wurm  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He's a finesse pitcher, relying on movement and location. Wurm likes to get hitters looking down and away, then ties them up by coming inside with hard stuff, getting a lot of groundball outs. Wurm also has a decent changeup. Because he can't overpower hitters, Wurm has to fool them instead. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Basestealers rarely test him. 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. Wurm is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Wurm has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Wurm as a pinch-runner on occasion.
