Deems Sivess
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. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. If you're going in to face Sivess, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting He never has controlled the running game. Sivess's follow-through leaves him in a vulnerable position, so he has trouble with comebackers. Sivess is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Sivess has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Sivess as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook AA isn't the right place for Sivess. 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.
