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 attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting
He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Shy doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. Shy is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Shy has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Shy as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook
One has to wonder what Orth Shy 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 Shy.
