Bill Etchinson  
Catcher | Toronto Polar Bears

Hitting
Even though you might not start him, he's not a bad guy to have on your bench for the tough left-handed reliever. You can expect Bill Etchinson to hit the ball to the opposite field... that's just the kind of hitter he is.

Baserunning & Defense
He steals a few bases with his combination of quickness and a decent first step. Though he can range pretty far in both directions, he has bad hands and often can't come up with balls. His arm is accurate enough.

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