Ryan Bowen  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
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 can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

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