Stephon Sheck
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching This guy has closer written all over him. Sheck has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. 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 comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.
Defense & Hitting Sheck is nothing special in the field. Sheck doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. Sheck is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Sheck has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Sheck as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook Sheck 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 Sheck.
