Mike Petrocelli  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He's a pretty good ground-ball pitcher, which I like because ground balls stay in the park. 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. Never a hard thrower, Petrocelli now has games when he can't hit 85 MPH with his fastball. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Petrocelli is nothing special in the field. He doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. Petrocelli is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Petrocelli has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Petrocelli as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
Petrocelli isn't cutting the mustard in the low minors. It's time for Mike to investigate other career options, like coaching highschool ball. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Petrocelli.
