Romano Shiba  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Shiba's endurance makes him well suited to long relief. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. He walks too many hitters and throws too many pitches. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Shiba doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. Shiba doesn't field his position well. Shiba is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Shiba has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Shiba as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
Shiba 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.
