John Briggs  
Center Fielder | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
One of the nice things about John is that he's a real clutch hitter. This guy can't hit a watermelon with a lampost. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. You can expect John Briggs to hit the ball to the opposite field... that's just the kind of hitter he is.

Baserunning & Defense
Briggs has excellent speed and uses it wisely. He reads pitchers' moves well and is capable of stealing in any situation. Though he can range pretty far in both directions, he has bad hands and often can't come up with balls. Runners take advantage of his weak arm.

2025 Outlook
Briggs 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.
