Pitching
He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. 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. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting
Chatman is nothing special in the field. His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on. Chatman is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Chatman has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Chatman as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook
One has to wonder what Lino Chatman is doing in AA. In all honesty, he could use a lot of work on the fundamentals in the low minors. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Chatman.
