Jeremy Gladish
Starting 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. The Retired or Inactive Players hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is merely average. Gladish's follow-through leaves him in a vulnerable position, so he has trouble with comebackers. Gladish is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Gladish has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Gladish as a pinch-runner on occasion.
