Hitting
Drye never has been a patient hitter. Drye always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. Even though you might not start him, he's not a bad guy to have on your bench for the tough left-handed reliever.
Baserunning & Defense
Drye 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 Drye 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
One has to wonder what Howie Drye is doing in AA. In all honesty, he could use a lot of work on the fundamentals in the low minors.
