Mul Shanner
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. If you're going in to face Shanner, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. But Shanner, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. This man owns lefties. Put it this way, if your lineup is full of them, you might want rethink your lineup.
Defense & Hitting Teams run on him more than they do most lefthanders. Shanner's follow-through leaves him in a vulnerable position, so he has trouble with comebackers. Shanner is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Shanner has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Shanner as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook Shanner 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 Shanner.
