Tracey Barton  
Catcher | Free Agents

Hitting
This guy can't hit a watermelon with a lampost. Let's face facts: Barton hits a lot of ground balls... and in my book, if you're slow of foot and put the ball on the ground, you're bound to get tied up in the double play. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. You can expect Tracey Barton to pull the ball.

Baserunning & Defense
He generally takes one base at a time, though he'll take advantage if an outfielder gets lackadaisical. Minor league scouts have accused Barton of being a liability in the field. His arm is accurate enough.

2025 Outlook
What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Barton to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks.
