Kevin Bettener  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. 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. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. 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. Bettener is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Bettener has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Bettener as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
AA isn't the right place for Bettener. 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.
