Pat Bruton   Catcher | Retired or Inactive Players Hitting In past seasons, Bruton has been a bit of a liability with men on base. He has a natural lift to his swing, which produces few groundballs. The Retired or Inactive Players do tend to sit Bruton when the opposing team throws a lefty. It's no secret he can't touch the left-handed breaking ball. You can expect Pat Bruton to hit the ball to the opposite field... that's just the kind of hitter he is. Baserunning & Defense Bruton isn't fast, but he's a heady baserunner who rarely gets thrown out. When you play Bruton you're not putting him in for his glove. Pat's arm leaves a little to be a desired. 2025 Outlook Bruton isn't cutting the mustard in the low minors. It's time for Pat to investigate other career options, like coaching highschool ball.           -- Ska Nyman, A-Ball Scout
