Tomaso Velzy  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. 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. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.

Defense & Hitting
Velzy's move to first base is average. Velzy is nothing special in the field. Velzy is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Velzy has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Velzy as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
Velzy 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.
