Salty Shimmin
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. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Shimmin also has a decent changeup. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. Shimmin is nothing special in the field. Shimmin is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Shimmin has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Shimmin as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook If Shimmin 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.
