Berent Volpicelli
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He's unflappable on the mound, possessing the confidence to throw any of his offerings at any time in the count. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. Volpicelli also has a decent changeup. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is only fair. Volpicelli seems distracted after his delivery. He's sometimes out of position, fails to cover a base or doesn't back up throws. Volpicelli is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Volpicelli has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Volpicelli as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook Volpicelli flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down promptly. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Volpicelli.
