Vicente Celi  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! 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, Celi's curveball tends to hang. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. Celi's follow-through leaves him in a vulnerable position, so he has trouble with comebackers. Celi is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Celi has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Celi as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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