Demarion Balenti   Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players Pitching 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. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders. Defense & Hitting 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. He doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. Balenti is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Balenti has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Balenti as a pinch-runner on occasion. 2025 Outlook Balenti 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 Balenti.           -- Moostard Nyman
