Kyren Jelley
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching 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 can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is merely average. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Jelley is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Jelley has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Jelley as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook Jelley 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 Jelley.
