Mark Eichhorn  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. 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. Never a hard thrower, Eichhorn now has games when he can't hit 85 MPH with his fastball. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on. He hurts himself by falling awkwardly off the mound in his follow-through, which allows too many balls to go through the middle for base hits. Eichhorn is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Eichhorn has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Eichhorn as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
But if you ask me, I'll pass on Eichhorn.
