Verne Daponte  
First Baseman | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
This guy can't hit a watermelon with a lampost. He has a natural lift to his swing, which produces few groundballs. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
Daponte doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a few bases each season without getting caught very often. When you play Daponte you're not putting him in for his glove. His biggest problem in the field simply has to be his throwing arm... it's well below par.

2025 Outlook
Daponte flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down promptly.
