Chuck McElroy  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
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 tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him.

Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. McElroy is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but McElroy has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use McElroy as a pinch-runner on occasion.
