Charlie Carey
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He continues to have trouble getting lefthanders out.
Defense & Hitting Basestealers rarely test him. He hurts himself by falling awkwardly off the mound in his follow-through, which allows too many balls to go through the middle for base hits. Carey is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Carey has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Carey as a pinch-runner on occasion.
