Paxton Mada
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Mada also has a decent changeup. 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. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is only fair. A shaky fielder, he's slow to react to grounders and often looks unsure on his throws to the bases. Mada is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Mada has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Mada as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook Mada 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 Mada.
