Chito Kawano  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Kawano also has a decent changeup. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Kawano is agile on the mound, though he makes needless errors when his concentration wanders. Kawano is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Kawano has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Kawano as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
Kawano has below average skills, even for the low minors. One has to expect the Retired or Inactive Players will give him his walking papers before the end of the season. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
