Naim Kazanski  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Kazanski can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Kazanski also has a decent changeup. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. In his first taste of the majors, he has kept lefthanders in check but wasn't as effective against righties.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Kazanski is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Kazanski has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Kazanski as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
If Kazanski 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.
