Tige Treaster
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Treaster can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Treaster also has a decent changeup. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is merely average. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Treaster is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Treaster has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Treaster as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook If Treaster 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.
