Tim Hart
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching His composure needs work. When Hart starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. If you're going in to face Hart, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Hart, and that's saying a lot. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. 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, Hart's curveball tends to hang. 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. Hart is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hart has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Hart as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2010 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Hart.
