Pep Stutsman
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. 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 His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on. Stutsman will make routine plays, but like most young pitchers he needs more experience to improve as a fielder. Stutsman is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Stutsman has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Stutsman as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook Stutsman was a rule-five pickup for the Retired or Inactive Players last year. I think The Retired or Inactive Players just didn't want to be left out of the Rule-V draft, why else would you sign Stutsman? But if you ask me, I'll pass on Stutsman.
