Cloud Mathias  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Mathias 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 attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. Mathias doesn't field his position well. Mathias is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Mathias has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Mathias as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
If Mathias doesn't perform, the Retired or Inactive Players won't hesitate to send him down to the minors. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
