Aiden Shantz  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He has the ability to coax groundballs, which helps him succeed. If you're going in to face Shantz, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him.

Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Teams run on him more than they do most lefthanders. Shantz is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Shantz has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Shantz as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
Shantz 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 Shantz.
