Abbott Botsford   Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players Pitching Botsford can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success. Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is merely average. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Botsford is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Botsford has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Botsford as a pinch-runner on occasion. 2025 Outlook Botsford 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.           -- Ska Nyman, A-Ball Scout
