Harvey Alley  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
When his release point drops below three-quarters, his fastball tends to hang in the strike zone. The Retired or Inactive Players hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He attacks lefties and righties with similar success. He struggles away from home.

Defense & Hitting
His slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Alley helps himself by holding runners with throws to first, and with slide steps and varied deliveries to home. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Alley is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Alley has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Alley as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
Alley has below average skills, even for the low minors. One has to expect the Retired or Inactive Players will give him his walking papers before the end of the season. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
