Aaren Sholes  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Now he's the consumate ground-ball pitcher, which I love: ground balls never leave the stadium. Sholes also has a decent changeup. 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 attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Sholes does an average job of holding runners. Sholes doesn't field his position well. Sholes is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Sholes has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Sholes as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
One has to wonder what Aaren Sholes is doing in AA. In all honesty, he could use a lot of work on the fundamentals in the low minors. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Sholes.
