Chihchiang Simpon  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. 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's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Simpon is nothing special in the field. He doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. Simpon is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Simpon has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Simpon as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
AA isn't the right place for Simpon. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down for some minor retooling. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
