Hitting
In past seasons, Bottomley has been a bit of a liability with men on base. Bottomley always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.
Baserunning & Defense
When his legs are healthy, Bottomley is an excellent basestealer with good speed and first-step quickness. His defense is solid but unspectacular. Runners take advantage of his weak arm.
2025 Outlook
Bottomley has impressed at the A-ball level. Look for the Retired or Inactive Players to give him a shot in Double or Triple A before the year is up.
