Delino Kellman
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Kellman has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. 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. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! Dating back to his days in the minors, Kellman has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders.
Defense & Hitting Kellman does an average job of holding runners. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Kellman is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Kellman has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Kellman as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook If Kellman 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.
