Melvin Lowry  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He isn't that tough to hit, but it's difficult to get good loft on his pitches and he seldom gives up the longball. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. If you're going in to face Lowry, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Lowry's move to first base is average. Lowry doesn't field his position well. Lowry is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Lowry has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Lowry as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
AA isn't the right place for Lowry. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down for some minor retooling. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
