Doug Henry
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! The one thing I must say I don't like about Henry is how easily rattled he gets. If he makes a mistake to a hitter and the guy winds up on second or third, you can pretty much count on the guy scoring. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is merely average. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Henry is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Henry has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Henry as a pinch-runner on occasion.
