Ripper Friess  
Catcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
The book on Friess is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. You can expect Ripper Friess to pull the ball.

Baserunning & Defense
Friess is an intelligent baserunner with average speed, but he's not a basestealing threat. Minor league scouts have accused Friess of being a liability in the field. His arm is accurate enough.

2025 Outlook
Friess flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down promptly.
