Pitching
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 can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Severson is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Severson has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Severson as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook
Severson has below average skills, even for the low minors. One has to expect the Retired or Inactive Players will give him his walking papers before the end of the season. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
