Blaine Soreson  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Soreson's move to first base is average. Soreson is nothing special in the field. Soreson is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Soreson has some pop in his swing.

2023 Outlook
It's really a shame he hasn't caught on somewhere. He might be a decent addition to someone's bench.
