Faizan Wheelwright
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 composure needs work. When Wheelwright starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting His move to first isn't very good, but his delivery is fairly quick and he isn't overly vulnerable to the stolen base. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Wheelwright is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Wheelwright has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Wheelwright as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook If Wheelwright 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.
