Bill Brown  
First Baseman | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
Brown never has been a patient hitter. The Retired or Inactive Players do tend to sit Brown when the opposing team throws a lefty. It's no secret he can't touch the left-handed breaking ball. Bill Brown has made a career of putting the ball to the opposite field. That's rare in this day and age.

Baserunning & Defense
Brown doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a handful of bases each season without getting caught very often. When you play Brown you're not putting him in for his glove. His arm is accurate enough.

2025 Outlook
Brown isn't cutting the mustard in the low minors. It's time for Bill to investigate other career options, like coaching highschool ball.
