Chuck Ricci  
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! He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Ricci is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Ricci has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Ricci as a pinch-runner on occasion.
