Reid Bauer
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Bauer can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Bauer also has a decent changeup. Never a hard thrower, Bauer now has games when he can't hit 85 MPH with his fastball. The one thing I must say I don't like about Bauer is how easily rattled he gets. If he makes a mistake to a hitter and the guy winds up on second or third, you can pretty much count on the guy scoring. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He shows a good pickoff move and never lets runners detract from his pitching. Bauer is nothing special in the field. Bauer is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Bauer has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Bauer as a pinch-runner on occasion.
