RJ Baxter  
Second Baseman | London Mustangs

Hitting
Baxter is an excellent mistake hitter who belts middle-of-the-plate fastballs or hanging breaking balls. Baxter always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. A spray hitter in the classic sense, RJ puts the ball all over the park.

Baserunning & Defense
His arm is below average but not a major weakness. Baxter doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a handful of bases each season without getting caught very often.
