Raoul McCosker
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching 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. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than McCosker, and that's saying a lot. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting 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. His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on. McCosker is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but McCosker has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use McCosker as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook McCosker flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down promptly. But if you ask me, I'll pass on McCosker.
