Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. 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. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.
Defense & Hitting
For a lefty, his move to first base is average at best, and he has a tendency to forget about runners at second, thereby creating opportunities to swipe third. Carris is nothing special in the field. Carris is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Carris has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Carris as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook
AA isn't the right place for Carris. 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.
