Ali Salahubdin  
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. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! In his first taste of the majors, he has kept righthanders in check but wasn't as effective against lefties.

Defense & Hitting
Salahubdin uses a slide step to keep runners close. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Salahubdin is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Salahubdin has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Salahubdin as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
If Salahubdin 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.
