Tippy Vasile  
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. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Vasile also has a decent changeup. Vasile has had a tendency to fall victim to big innings. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Vasile is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Vasile has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Vasile as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
If Vasile 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.
