Olivier Cathell
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Cathell also has a decent changeup. If you're going in to face Cathell, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Cathell is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Cathell has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Cathell as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook Cathell was a rule-five pickup for the Retired or Inactive Players last year. I can't say I know what The Retired or Inactive Players were doing locking this guy up to a long term contract. A questionable call at best. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
