Josecarlo Rucinski  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Rucinski 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. In his first taste of the majors, he has kept lefthanders in check but wasn't as effective against righties.

Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Rucinski is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Rucinski has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Rucinski as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
If Rucinski 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.
