George Bushelman  
Catcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
The book on Bushelman is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. Bushelman always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
When you play Bushelman you're not putting him in for his glove. His arm is accurate enough. He generally takes one base at a time, though he'll take advantage if an outfielder gets lackadaisical.

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