Ferdie Hines  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Hines also has a decent changeup. 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 comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.

Defense & Hitting
Hines is nothing special in the field. Hines doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. Hines is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hines has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Hines as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
Hines 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 Hines.
