Kaktus Kolsch   Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players Pitching He's a pretty good ground-ball pitcher, which I like because ground balls stay in the park. Kolsch can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Kolsch also has a decent changeup. Dating back to his days in the minors, Kolsch has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders. Defense & Hitting He's average in terms of controlling the running game. Kolsch is nothing special in the field. Kolsch is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Kolsch has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Kolsch as a pinch-runner on occasion. 2025 Outlook Kolsch has below average skills, even for the low minors. One has to expect the Retired or Inactive Players will give him his walking papers before the end of the season. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.           -- Ska Nyman, A-Ball Scout
