Toad Abare  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Abare forces hitters to keep the ball on the ground. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Steals sometimes unnerve Abare, who isn't blessed with extraordinary self-confidence. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Abare is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Abare has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Abare as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
If Abare doesn't perform, the Retired or Inactive Players won't hesitate to send him down to the minors. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
