Melvin Lowry
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Lowry forces hitters to keep the ball on the ground. 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. If you're going in to face Lowry, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting Lowry does an average job of holding runners. A shaky fielder, he's slow to react to grounders and often looks unsure on his throws to the bases. Lowry is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Lowry has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Lowry as a pinch-runner on occasion.
