Dan Molitor  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He keeps his pitches low in the strike zone and throws a heavy ball. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Molitor also has a decent changeup. When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Molitor's curveball tends to hang. Dating back to his days in the minors, Molitor has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Molitor is nothing special in the field. He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Molitor is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Molitor has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Molitor as a pinch-runner on occasion.
