Ruppert Dalessio
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching 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! You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Dalessio, and that's saying a lot. 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. His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on. Dalessio is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Dalessio has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Dalessio as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Dalessio.
