Heathcliff Slocumb  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
This guy has closer written all over him. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. The Retired or Inactive Players hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Slocumb's move to first base is average. 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. Slocumb is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Slocumb has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Slocumb as a pinch-runner on occasion.
