Rod Foate  
Catcher | Free Agents

Hitting
The book on Foate is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. The Free Agents do tend to sit Foate when the opposing team throws a lefty. It's no secret he can't touch the left-handed breaking ball.

Baserunning & Defense
Foate isn't fast, but he's a heady baserunner who rarely gets thrown out. Foate is a poor defensive catcher. He isn't very mobile or adept at blocking balls in the dirt. Runners take advantage of his weak arm.

2025 Outlook
What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Foate to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks.
