Biggs Retterath  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Retterath also has a decent changeup. 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. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

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

2025 Outlook
AA isn't the right place for Retterath. 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.
