Nevin Rongstad
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. 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 righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.
Defense & Hitting Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. Rongstad's follow-through leaves him in a vulnerable position, so he has trouble with comebackers. Rongstad is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Rongstad has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Rongstad as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook If Rongstad 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.
