Len Birkofer  
Right Fielder | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
Birkofer never has been a patient hitter. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. You can expect Len Birkofer to hit the ball to the opposite field... that's just the kind of hitter he is.

Baserunning & Defense
Though he managed to record his share of assists, his arm is just average. Birkofer doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a few bases each season without getting caught very often.

2025 Outlook
Birkofer has below average skills, even for the low minors. One has to expect the Retired or Inactive Players will give him his walking papers before the end of the season.
