Rafe Ahuna
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Ahuna can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. When his release point drops below three-quarters, his fastball tends to hang in the strike zone. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting Ahuna does an average job of holding runners. Ahuna seems distracted after his delivery. He's sometimes out of position, fails to cover a base or doesn't back up throws. Ahuna is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Ahuna has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Ahuna as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook AA isn't the right place for Ahuna. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down for some minor retooling. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
