Asa Maciarello  
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! Maciarello can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Maciarello also has a decent changeup. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success. It's hard to explain but Asa Maciarello plays much better on the road then he does at home.

Defense & Hitting
He fields both bunts and slow groundballs in front of the plate equally well. Maciarello does an average job of holding runners. Maciarello is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Maciarello has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Maciarello as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
Maciarello 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.
