Derek Cranefield  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He throws his changeup with perfect arm speed and at a range of angles, so no hitter knows it's coming. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.

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

2025 Outlook
AA isn't the right place for Cranefield. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down for some minor retooling. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
