Paddy Besecker  
First Baseman | Free Agents

Hitting
This guy can't hit a watermelon with a lampost. Besecker always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. Even though you might not start him, he's not a bad guy to have on your bench for the tough left-handed reliever.

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. Besecker doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a couple bases each season without getting caught very often.

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