Lem Cloward  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Cloward also has a decent changeup. No one questions this kid's heart. They do question why he just can't get it done late in the game. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. Cloward is nothing special in the field. Cloward is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Cloward has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Cloward as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
If Cloward 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.
