Purnal Rautzhan
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching 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. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Rautzhan is agile on the mound, though he makes needless errors when his concentration wanders. Rautzhan is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Rautzhan has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Rautzhan as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook If Rautzhan 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.
