Hitting
But Paul's detracters are quick to call attention to his ongoing struggles at the plate with men on base. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. You can expect Paul Bellaire to hit the ball to the opposite field... that's just the kind of hitter he is. It's hard to explain but Paul Bellaire plays much better on the road then he does at home. It's unfortunate too, with Bellaire signing a hefty contract. You gotta imagine management wants a little better relationship between him and the fans.
Baserunning & Defense
Bellaire isn't fast, but he's a heady baserunner who rarely gets thrown out. When you play Bellaire you're not putting him in for his glove. Paul's arm leaves a little to be a desired.
2025 Outlook
The Regina Pirates were smart, they locked Bellaire up to a long term contract. Bellaire performance in AAA is making it difficult for the Regina Pirates to ignore him much longer. Expect his name to be on the September call-up list.
