Ned Rodin  
Starting 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. Rodin has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. In his first taste of the majors, he has kept righthanders in check but wasn't as effective against lefties.

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

2025 Outlook
If Rodin 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.
