Tim Pugh
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Pugh also has a decent changeup. His composure needs work. When Pugh starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.
Defense & Hitting His move to first isn't very good, but his delivery is fairly quick and he isn't overly vulnerable to the stolen base. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Pugh is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Pugh has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Pugh as a pinch-runner on occasion.
