Enrimael Salyers
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Now he's the consumate ground-ball pitcher, which I love: ground balls never leave the stadium. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. If you're going in to face Salyers, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.
Defense & Hitting His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on. A shaky fielder, he's slow to react to grounders and often looks unsure on his throws to the bases. Salyers is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Salyers has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Salyers as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook Salyers flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down promptly. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Salyers.
