Josias Fairless  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. Fairless also has a decent changeup. If you're going in to face Fairless, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. No one questions this kid's heart. They do question why he just can't get it done late in the game. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on. Fairless is agile on the mound, though he makes needless errors when his concentration wanders. Fairless is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Fairless has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Fairless as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
One has to wonder what Josias Fairless is doing in AA. In all honesty, he could use a lot of work on the fundamentals in the low minors. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Fairless.
