Manuel Almquist
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Almquist can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Almquist is a flyball pitcher, which can get him in trouble. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Almquist doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. Almquist is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Almquist has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Almquist as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook Almquist flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down promptly. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Almquist.
