Harpal Yeates  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Yeates also has a decent changeup. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. If you're going in to face Yeates, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He traditionally fares better against lefties.

Defense & Hitting
Basestealers have succeeded against Yeates because his pickoff move is weak for a lefthander. He hurts himself by falling awkwardly off the mound in his follow-through, which allows too many balls to go through the middle for base hits. Yeates is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Yeates has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Yeates as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
AA isn't the right place for Yeates. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down for some minor retooling. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
