Anson Kohnen  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
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. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.

Defense & Hitting
His move to first isn't very good, but his delivery is fairly quick and he isn't overly vulnerable to the stolen base. Kohnen is nothing special in the field. Kohnen is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Kohnen has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Kohnen as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
Kohnen 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 Kohnen.
