Jermey Valin
Starting 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. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. In his first taste of the majors, he has kept lefthanders in check but wasn't as effective against righties.
Defense & Hitting He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Valin is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Valin has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Valin as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook If Valin doesn't perform, the Retired or Inactive Players won't hesitate to send him down to the minors. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
