Sherman Busby  
Catcher | Fredericton Bandits

Hitting
Busby always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. The Fredericton Bandits do tend to sit Busby when the opposing team throws a lefty. It's no secret he can't touch the left-handed breaking ball.

Baserunning & Defense
His defense is solid but unspectacular. His arm is accurate enough. Busby isn't fast, but he's a heady baserunner who rarely gets thrown out.

2025 Outlook
In one full big league season, Busby already has done more than what scouts projected when he came out of college.
