Corey Teufel
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Teufel has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. 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. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Teufel, and that's saying a lot. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.
Defense & Hitting He's average in terms of controlling the running game. Teufel is nothing special in the field. Teufel is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Teufel has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Teufel as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook AA isn't the right place for Teufel. 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.
