Ben Fife  
First Baseman | Vancouver Orcas

Hitting
One thing's for sure, late in the game you're glad you have him on the field. Fife always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hangs in well against lefthanders' breaking balls, and some of the pitchers he hits best are the southpaw specialists often brought in to face him.

Baserunning & Defense
His arm and range are average, and he has a tendency to get lazy with his feet. Fife doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a handful of bases each season without getting caught very often.

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