Brayden Curtis
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching A groundball pitcher, Curtis needs to have sharp command to succeed. Though Curtis can't just blow the ball by hitters, he has some giddyup on his fastball. 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. His composure needs work. When Curtis starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him.
Defense & Hitting For a lefty, his move to first base is average at best, and he has a tendency to forget about runners at second, thereby creating opportunities to swipe third. Curtis is nothing special in the field. Curtis is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Curtis has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Curtis as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook Curtis 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.
