Zachari Avilez
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He always throws strikes but is very hittable. It's tough to get much loft on the ball against him, as he works down in the strike zone to begin with and his two-seamer produces mostly groundballs. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.
Defense & Hitting Avilez does an average job of holding runners. Avilez is agile on the mound, though he makes needless errors when his concentration wanders. Avilez is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Avilez has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Avilez as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook If Avilez 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.
