Dewitt Stelman  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. Stelman has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. In his first taste of the majors, he has kept righthanders in check but wasn't as effective against lefties.

Defense & Hitting
Obviously, basestealers are a problem for any knuckleballer, but Stelman must learn to cope with runners. Stelman doesn't field his position well. Stelman is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Stelman has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Stelman as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
Stelman 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 Stelman.
