Geronimo Gruska   Starting 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. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders. Defense & Hitting Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. Gruska is nothing special in the field. Gruska is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Gruska has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Gruska as a pinch-runner on occasion. 2025 Outlook Gruska flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down promptly. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Gruska.           -- Moostard Nyman
