Joe Rosselli  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Rosselli likes to get hitters looking down and away, then ties them up by coming inside with hard stuff, getting a lot of groundball outs. Rosselli also has a decent changeup. If you're going in to face Rosselli, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Rosselli uses a slide step to keep runners close. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Rosselli is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Rosselli has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Rosselli as a pinch-runner on occasion.
