Bobby McCaleb  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He has the ability to coax groundballs, which helps him succeed. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. No one questions this kid's heart. They do question why he just can't get it done late in the game. But McCaleb, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
McCaleb's move to first base is average. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. McCaleb is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but McCaleb has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use McCaleb as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
If McCaleb 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.
