Duane Ward  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. If you're going in to face Ward, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He's trying to develop a sinker, but as of yet it's been well below par. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

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. Ward is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Ward has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Ward as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
But if you ask me, I'll pass on Ward.
