Mark Baston  
First Baseman | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
During the last two years, he has become more patient and gotten better loft on the ball. Even though you might not start him, he's not a bad guy to have on your bench for the tough left-handed reliever. He uses the entire field and has gap power.

Baserunning & Defense
His defense is solid but unspectacular. His biggest problem in the field simply has to be his throwing arm... it's well below par. His speed is below average and he's not a threat to steal.

2025 Outlook
In one full big league season, Baston already has done more than what scouts projected when he came out of college.
