Emory Fail  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Fail can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Fail also has a decent changeup. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is only fair. Fail's follow-through leaves him in a vulnerable position, so he has trouble with comebackers. Fail is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Fail has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Fail as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
If Fail doesn't perform, the Retired or Inactive Players won't hesitate to send him down to the minors. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
