Kerrick Sundberg
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Sundberg has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. 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 can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. Dating back to his days in the minors, Sundberg has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is only fair. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Sundberg is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Sundberg has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Sundberg as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook One has to wonder what Kerrick Sundberg is doing in AA. In all honesty, he could use a lot of work on the fundamentals in the low minors. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Sundberg.
