Anthony Young  
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. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

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