Isiah Hayden
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He's unflappable on the mound, possessing the confidence to throw any of his offerings at any time in the count. 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. But Hayden, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on. Hayden is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hayden has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Hayden as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook If Hayden 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.
