Pitching
Tobin's endurance makes him well suited to long relief. He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting
Tobin remains one of the best fielding pitchers in the game's history. His slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Tobin helps himself by holding runners with throws to first, and with slide steps and varied deliveries to home. Tobin is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Tobin has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Tobin as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook
Tobin has below average skills, even for the low minors. One has to expect the Retired or Inactive Players will give him his walking papers before the end of the season. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
