Darian Fosselman
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. 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. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! This man owns lefties. Put it this way, if your lineup is full of them, you might want rethink your lineup.
Defense & Hitting Fosselman is nothing special in the field. Basestealers have succeeded against Fosselman because his pickoff move is weak for a lefthander. Fosselman is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Fosselman has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Fosselman as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook AA isn't the right place for Fosselman. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down for some minor retooling. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
