Hitting
This guy can't hit a watermelon with a lampost. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. You can expect Lip Appel to hit the ball to the opposite field... that's just the kind of hitter he is.
Baserunning & Defense
His defense is solid but unspectacular. Runners take advantage of his weak arm. Appel doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a few bases each season without getting caught very often.
2025 Outlook
Appel flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down promptly.
