Simon Exel  
Second Baseman | Kelowna Okanagans

Hitting
Exel never has been a patient hitter. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. Simon Exel has made a career of putting the ball to the opposite field. That's rare in this day and age. He absolutely loves playing before the hometown crowd.

Baserunning & Defense
Exel is an above-average runner, but lacks the first-step explosiveness needed to become a basestealing threat. When you play Exel you're not putting him in for his glove. His arm is accurate, and he knows when to unload or take his time.
