Preston Lehner  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
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. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Lehner's curveball tends to hang. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. Lehner seems distracted after his delivery. He's sometimes out of position, fails to cover a base or doesn't back up throws. Lehner is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Lehner has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Lehner as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
Lehner 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 Lehner.
