Johnny Braun  
Center Fielder | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
Braun never has been a patient hitter. He has a natural lift to his swing, which produces few groundballs. Don't be surprised if The Retired or Inactive Players's manager sits Braun when you throw your ace lefty. For some reason, he just can't figure out the southpaw.

Baserunning & Defense
His defense is solid but unspectacular. Runners take advantage of his weak arm. Braun 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
Braun 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.
