Jimmie McCanless   Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players Pitching He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. McCanless also throws a screwball. 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. But McCanless, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him. Defense & Hitting McCanless does an average job of holding runners. McCanless never has been a good fielder. McCanless is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but McCanless has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use McCanless as a pinch-runner on occasion. 2025 Outlook AA isn't the right place for McCanless. 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.           -- Emu Nyman, AA/AAA Scout
