Mackey Cheevers  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Cheevers 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, Cheevers's curveball tends to hang. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on. Cheevers is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Cheevers has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Cheevers as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
Cheevers has below average skills, even for the low minors. One has to expect the Retired or Inactive Players will give him his walking papers before the end of the season. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
