Joe Kuehne  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
God, who doesn't love a knuckler? I saw a slow-motion version of one of his pitches on TV, it's no wonder they're unhittable! Kuehne can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His pitches lose some movement when he pitches from the stretch position. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders. It's hard to explain but Joe Kuehne plays much better on the road then he does at home.

Defense & Hitting
He has quick feet and can catch runners napping at first or second base. He fielded his position creditably. Kuehne is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Kuehne has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Kuehne as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
Kuehne 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.
