Matt Denicola  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! If you're going in to face Denicola, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Denicola does a very poor job of holding baserunners because of his deliberate move to home plate. He's slow to get off the mound to field his position, especially to the third-base side. Denicola is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Denicola has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Denicola as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
Denicola was a rule-five pickup for the Retired or Inactive Players last year. I think The Retired or Inactive Players just didn't want to be left out of the Rule-V draft, why else would you sign Denicola? But if you ask me, I'll pass on Denicola.
