Homer Ellison  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. Ellison also has a decent changeup. 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. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
His slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Ellison helps himself by holding runners with throws to first, and with slide steps and varied deliveries to home. Ellison is nothing special in the field. Ellison is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Ellison has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Ellison as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
Ellison 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.
