Antonio Brush  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Brush also has a decent changeup. 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. When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Brush's curveball tends to hang. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. Brush doesn't field his position well. Brush is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Brush has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Brush as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
If Brush 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.
