Rich Scheid  
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. Because he can't overpower hitters, Scheid has to fool them instead. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He traditionally fares better against lefties.

Defense & Hitting
Scheid does an average job of holding runners. Scheid is nothing special in the field. Scheid is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Scheid has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Scheid as a pinch-runner on occasion.
