Jonathan Broxton
Jonathan Broxton threw a pitch that seemed to equate with his 6-foot-4, 300-lb frame: a 100-mph heater on which few hitters could lay wood. Oh, yeah, and he also threw a slider. A very average bender. Then, in July 2008, when Broxton became the Dodgers’ closer, he impressed just about everyone, especially when he tossed that unhittable blazing fastball. Nevertheless, even with his best pitch, Broxton blew two critical saves – one in each series - against those fightin’ Phils in the 2008 and 2009 NLCS. Anyway, JB pitched in the All-Star Game in 2010, saving the game – barely – but he was never the same afterwards. Why? He lost his fastball. In 2011, elbow trouble plagued JB throughout most of the season, after which he became a free agent. - howtheyplay.com
After thirteen years in the bigs, he retired. He then became the head baseball coach at Edmund Burke Academy in Burke County, Georgia in March 2018. He brought on his father, Randy, as an assistant coach. The school won the state championship in Broxton's first season as head coach. - bRef Bullpen wiki

It's not perfect but better than the former ships-with-game one in the pack imo. This continues me trying to look at all the players in my Historical Random Debut sim...
