Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Mallonee 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 can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.
Defense & Hitting
Mallonee's move to first base is average. Mallonee is nothing special in the field. Mallonee is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Mallonee has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Mallonee as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook
AA isn't the right place for Mallonee. 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.
