George Yost
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! If you're going in to face Yost, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. Yost is a flyball pitcher susceptible to the home run. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders. It's hard to explain but George Yost plays much better on the road then he does at home.
Defense & Hitting His slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Yost helps himself by holding runners with throws to first, and with slide steps and varied deliveries to home. Yost seems distracted after his delivery. He's sometimes out of position, fails to cover a base or doesn't back up throws. Yost is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Yost has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Yost as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Yost.
