Joey Eischen
Relief 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. His composure needs work. When Eischen starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. But Eischen, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Eischen's curveball tends to hang. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is merely average. Eischen is nothing special in the field. Eischen is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Eischen has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Eischen as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2010 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Eischen.
