Pitching
Albus also has a decent changeup. 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. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting
He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. 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. Albus is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Albus has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Albus as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook
If Albus 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.
