Martin Coolman  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Coolman can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Coolman has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! In his first taste of the majors, he has kept righthanders in check but wasn't as effective against lefties.

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