Jakob Simpers   Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players Pitching He's a pretty good ground-ball pitcher, which I like because ground balls stay in the park. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. 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. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He attacks lefties and righties with similar success. Defense & Hitting His move to first isn't very good, but his delivery is fairly quick and he isn't overly vulnerable to the stolen base. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Simpers is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Simpers has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Simpers as a pinch-runner on occasion. 2025 Outlook Simpers 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 Simpers.           -- Moostard Nyman
