Delbert Klippstein  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Klippstein is nothing special in the field. He doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. Klippstein is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Klippstein has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Klippstein as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
Klippstein 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 Klippstein.
