Gilbert Walley  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. 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. But Walley, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success. Walley struggles on the road.

Defense & Hitting
He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. Walley seems distracted after his delivery. He's sometimes out of position, fails to cover a base or doesn't back up throws. Walley is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Walley has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Walley as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
If Walley 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.
