Kerry Cottman  
Shortstop | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
The book on Cottman is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. Cottman always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. 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. Cottman is an intelligent baserunner with average speed, but he's not a basestealing threat.

2025 Outlook
If Cottman doesn't perform, the Retired or Inactive Players won't hesitate to send him down to the minors.
