Pol Cirocco  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

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. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! This man owns lefties. Put it this way, if your lineup is full of them, you might want rethink your lineup.

Defense & Hitting
He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Cirocco is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Cirocco has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Cirocco as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
If Cirocco doesn't perform, the Retired or Inactive Players won't hesitate to send him down to the minors. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
