Unknown Shell  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
A groundball pitcher, Shell needs to have sharp command to succeed. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.

Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. Shell is agile on the mound, though he makes needless errors when his concentration wanders. Shell is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Shell has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Shell as a pinch-runner on occasion.
