Shanty Kitzman   Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players Pitching Kitzman 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. Kitzman also has a decent changeup. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders. Defense & Hitting Kitzman's move to first base is 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. Kitzman is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Kitzman has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Kitzman as a pinch-runner on occasion. 2025 Outlook If Kitzman 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.           -- Moostard Nyman
