Faith Kellog
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He is adept at coaxing groundballs with his sinking fastball and plunging curveball, so hitters try to force him to elevate his deliveries and hope that they'll catch too much of the strike zone. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. 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. Kellog has had a tendency to fall victim to big innings. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. Kellog is nothing special in the field. Kellog is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Kellog has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Kellog as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook Kellog 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 Kellog.
