Pitching
Dietzel also throws a screwball. Let's just say he's screwy on the field and off... so watch out for that devastating screwball! God, who doesn't love a knuckler? I saw a slow-motion version of one of his pitches on TV, it's no wonder they're unhittable! The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.
Defense & Hitting
Dietzel's move to first base is average. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Dietzel is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Dietzel has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Dietzel as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook
Dietzel 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.
