Brian Core  
Third Baseman | Victoria Islanders

Hitting
He has the mental discipline to handle clutch situations. He has a natural lift to his swing, which produces few groundballs. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
He doesn't get good jumps on grounders, but his routes are fine and his hands aren't bad. His arm is accurate enough. Core isn't fast, but he's a heady baserunner who rarely gets thrown out.

2025 Outlook
The Victoria Islanders signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Core like a hot potato if something better comes along.
