Doe Thom
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching It's tough to get much loft on the ball against him, as he works down in the strike zone to begin with and his two-seamer produces mostly groundballs. If you're going in to face Thom, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Thom, and that's saying a lot. Thom has no endurance. He's good for an inning an outing, tops. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Thom is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Thom has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Thom as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Thom.
