Barbaro Irvine
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Irvine can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Irvine also has a decent changeup. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting He's average in terms of controlling the running game. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Irvine is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Irvine has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Irvine as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook If Irvine 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.
