Pitching
Conneely can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Conneely is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Conneely has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Conneely as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook
Conneely 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.
