Corin Needs  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He walks too many hitters and throws too many pitches. 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
He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Needs is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Needs has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Needs as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
If Needs 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.
